So, the spot of the connection is the same "language" but with different uses in every different genre in Greek music…

"I miss authenticity, I miss blues with a feeling. There’s way too much importance put on how many guitars you have on stage, and what vintage they are, and how fast you can play and  which fancy venue in which country you toured.
