I'm with ya on that issue bruv. I'm a retired drummer and due to age (I'm 63) and age related muscle and joint pain then I have to medicate and stimulate myself to get through a rigorous drumming session, so, it's ibuprofen with codeine, caffeine, ginseng and Red Bull for me. 😂

My love for blues came from my grandpa. When I was little my grandpa would play various songs on his record player and he sit there in a trance. I looked at him curiously asking him “ grandpa why you look so sad and happy at peace at the same time” he told me “ Buy when you get older you’ll find out that life as a man gives you the blues, Wether it be a breakup or stressful day at work. Listening to the blues gives a man solace and peace, cause it’s the only joy a man can have with the time he has” here I am 35+ years later, I finally understand what he’s talking about thank you grandpa you’re the best, R.I.P Grandpa

Maybe in a Coen Brothers movie. Yesterday watched O'Brother.. JJ could have been a great character, sort of mirroring anti-fascist wise musician. Or in TheBigLebowski . Of course in a future movie. He could be the main character of a road movie sort of documentary bit real movie standards, something new but BuenaVistaSocialClub made me think of something, movie music. A great sound and visual experience through various US landscapes, there could be Justin listening to people ideas about life or anything they like, music of course, see some tradition crafting on wood, steel, leather.. classic mechanic, small farming, houses builders, maybe new pioneers. Voices, faces, instruments, tools, nature, materials, working hands... Easy to shoot several hours and record ..
