"The art can also deepen your sense of empathy and compassion, as you put yourself in another's shoes and allow yourself to see the world and life from different perspectives."

John Arvites: Doctor Vent & His Friends…

"Rock music was an integral part of the counterculture movement of the 60's all over the world. It is true too that it expressed the aims and ambitions of many young people all over the world who saw the growing pains of the capitalist lifestyle."

Tolis Fasois: Happy To Be…

"I have learned to Love what I do and to be proud of what I have accomplished. The Blues for me is an art form that allows myself and so many musicians to express our feelings and our emotions with our music."

"Even since the beatniks’ era (or earlier?) music plays a very significant role in youth culture. Most young people’s sub-cultures are characterized by their preference to one or the other music genre. And very much of the music that’s been popular since the mid-war owes a lot to the blues, directly or not."…

"I love big band salsa and Cuban stuff and would like to play some of my slide and bluesy lead in a group like that with those killer singers and horns."

Sarasota Slim: Southern…

"Βlues music was like a means to an end for them. In my opinion I think that our living conditions have an impact in music. If there was no slavery, we wouldn’t have the blues. If rempetiko wasn't illegal back in days, baglamas (a local traditional instrument which is small and fits in your jacket) wouldn't be invented."…

"There is no doubt that blues and jazz and dance and other African American art forms have opened the doors of understanding to the richness and the depth of black culture thereby creating understanding and acceptance."

Jason Ricci: A Cool Blues Human Being…

"I hope that people keep listening to the old blues, and that new people will come along and get to know it and get the same pleasure that I get from it."

"The music industry has dramatically changed over the last 15 years. All artists will either embrace the changing times or else find themselves passed over."
