Yeah man, hold your dad close, he's not done teaching you things to this day. My dad taught me how to deal with under handed bar managers to completely collect my money at the end of the night. My dad taught me how its easier to quit a band and join another one rather than fight over personal tastes. My dad also taught me: " if these things about me that you don't like, then don't do it, do something else." My dad lived hard, worked hard, played hard and paid the price, but didn't regret much. I lost my dad 5 years ago, but I'm just a little older than you, we live in the same state, and state of mind--I just gave up on the business this year--I'll get back to playing soon.

[@michaelraimondi4448]

If John Mayer came out in the 70s he would just be one of many, but since there are so few blues rockers in the spotlight, he’s a big deal. But he couldn’t come out in the 70s, because he owes all of his licks to songs of that era. (60s,70s,80s) It would be a sonic time warp. We’re just grateful that SOMEONE is playing the guitar.
