Happy New Year.
No, it is not about the videos I posted that received no comments. I am not that kind of shallow and vain individual. My comment is an observation about human nature, and there is no reason for you to make it personal. Your dislike for me is often on display on these threads. If you don't like my comments don't read them.............problem solved.

I don't dislike you - I don't know you - happy new year too. But your posts are sometimes quite 'negative' - that's what I dislike. And there's no 'ignore' button...
Anyway, I was wondering about samantha fish. Is she 'famous' (you know, british blues awards nominee etc)? Is it mainly a T&A thing? I guess if she was from around here, playing at my local, I might quite enjoy it. Good luck to her, even if I don't get it... TT

Negative/positive is a matter of perception. As I said, if you don't like my posts just don't read them. This will save you from any displeasure.
Samantha Fish has opened for Buddy Guy, and has two albums out. Perhaps you have opened for a famous blues musician and you have albums out as well. Again, if you don't enjoy Samantha Fish then don't click the video.
Life is simple. Do what you like and avoid the rest.

Touche ID. The best I can come up with is that I have opened for Layla Zoe (canadian blues star), Gwyn Ashton (aussie blues legend), Babajack (british blues awards winners), Mumbo Jumbo (british blues awards nominees), in the last couple of years. Next year might get better... I did release one album, and one EP, and if the kids / wife allow me to, I hope to do at least one more next year. I'll send you a freebie if I do. And you? TT

Perhaps you have opened for a famous blues musician and you have albums out as well. Yes and yes. on both counts Not just blues legends, but a few 50s rockabilly legends as well. That would make for two long lists. But that's totally irrelevant to this conversation. Do you ask people if they are a film director when they tell you that they've watched an abysmal film? Do you ask someone if they are a chef when they complain that they've eaten a lousy meal at a restaurant?

Layla Zoe (canadian blues star As a resident of Canada since 1974, I must say this is the first time I hear the name. A star??

That is a nice list of musicians you have opened for. Not Buddy Guy level, but an accomplishment none the less. Congratulations.
If you do choose to release a new album, I would enjoy your offer of a freebie.

Are you saying Samantha is not an accomplished musician whose career is going up and not down?
Since you have mentioned two long lists of famous people you have opened for, I (and perhaps others) would love to see the list. Then we call all be impressed if that is your desire.

Zak71: Are you saying Samantha is not an accomplished musician whose career is going up and not down? No, I said it was painful for me to listen to, and has nothing to do with North Mississippi Blues. I am not privy to the details of her career. Since you have mentioned two long lists of famous people you have opened for, I (and perhaps others) would love to see the list. Then we call all be impressed if that is your desire. Is that really necessary? We need to have a genitalia-measuring contest now? I've played with and opened shows for all kinds of people...Lil'Ed, Billy Lee Riley, Junior Watson, Joe Clay, The Paladins, oh and you might recognize this guy in this 20-some year old photo: How long of a list do you want? I don't really care to type out dozens of other names, I am not out to impress you. I have multiple label releases by two different bands (record labels from Canada, USA, Germany, Italy, and a few others I may be forgetting) and as many self-released recordings by three or four other bands, as well as guest appearances and session work for various other people...some known and some unknown. I can go on and on but I did not come here to name-drop and blow my own horn. I don't see what it has to do with this thread. Yawn. Was that really necessary? if you don't enjoy Samantha Fish then don't click the video. Life is simple. Do what you like and avoid the rest. This isn't "life" - it's a forum devoted to guitars and music...not the "strictly positive commentary" page. Now tell me, since you avoided the question the first time...do you ask people their credentials every time they voice that something is not to their liking? Can a non-musician dislike music, or is that not permissible to you? Can I tell my girlfriend that her new scarf is ugly, even though I can not spin yarn or knit even at the beginner level?

No wonder I haven't heard of her, I don't really follow that kind of stuff. She may be well known in blooze-rawk circles, but I wouldn't know about that.

To be honest, I didn't stick around for her set - she didn't speak to me at all when I got there. Its a line on my flyer now... TT

"Nothing to do with North Mississippi Blues."
Shake em on down has been covered by many blues men. Samantha's is doing a cover of R.L Burnside's version. That qualifies without having to stretch.
And, is that you on the hampton street coffee grinders video? If it is.........well, that is what is call hitting the big time.
And yes, If i want credential and deuce is happy to comply, what does that have to do with you (since you have chosen to insinuate yourself in the conversation)?
