No.
Ain't, aka Ain'tnothing, Hopper, et al can be found in Archies forum, JazzHacks.com. He started a thread for the blues over there, too. And one just to ask us to share this with you.
One Brow came over there for a while, too. Then went on hiatus a spell, but has come back. Just when this forum needs a real shot in the arm, I'd say.
I don't know much about music, though I got a message from a noob yesterday asking me if I could impart some significant insights on Django Reinhardt, the great gypsy instrumentalist from early on in the last century over in Paris, who might have been some influence even on our own blues musicians. He learned to play in connection with his gypsy roots and was just darn interesting to listen to. He got badly burned in a fire in his gypsy wagon filled with nitrocellulose craft materials his new wife liked to work with, probably came home drunk and knocked a candle over. And then he learned to play all over again with fewer fingers.
Kinda impressive, I'd say.
What I know about the blues just comes from my own sorry life nobody else would want to be stuck with, and that nobody else could really be expected to understand, in polite society that is. But like we all sorta know inside.
I've wondered once or twice about this, but seriously I could hardly do any better than hope it could be true, and just stay shut up about it.
