Well, it’s funny…..every once in awhile, I run into other musicians here in Managua. I guess I can call myself a ‘musician’. I mean, I play guitar.
Guy that plays guitar= musician, right?!
At any rate, for those of you that know me, I haven’t been at it very long, couple of years, maybe 3. So, when some guy comes along….you know, a semi-professional musician, and we get to talking….he finds out I ‘play’ guitar. Next thing you know, I’m going to jam with him….perhaps before he does a show in a little dive bar here.
I keep telling the guy, ‘Hey! I don’t play Country music, I play Country Blues music. That means no George Strait. I’m talking Mississippi John Hurt…..’ Then he goes, ‘What?! Who’s he?!’…..and so it goes. I’m a burgeoning guitarist, playing a style no one has heard of….in a country with no music scene.
