Interview with brilliant multi-talented artist Bill Payne about the art, the music, the life, the counterculture, the world

"My foundation as an artist is the belief in: ... the nobleness of the arts and our effort as artists...writers...teachers...conveyors of thought, is to be mindful of the challenge and the importance of what we do. The essence of our efforts, I believe, is to illuminate the path of a measured truth, and to reflect and mirror that truth through the veil of our craft, taking aim at ourselves, our society, our world, with utmost respect to the awe and mystery…

"I just hope we can take it one step at a time, take it one day at a time and do better. I do not like to deal with fear, I do not think like that. You can’t think in fear, in these terms.

Q&A with UK dynamic singer Emma Wilson, heart-wrenching sweet soul licks & raw, real, powerful blues

"I think live music has amazing benefits on people’s mental health, it brings joy, relief, escapism and a warm social environment.

Music is great."…

"I miss the context. I miss how small the music scene was in 1966-70. I miss the close-knit communities that thrived without the internet, without the media. I miss the sense of discovery music fans had before the algorithms started to force-feed us ''discoveries''.  I think there's loads of great music and musicians out there today. Always interesting new bands in the US, UK, Europe and elsewhere. But I miss great songwriting combined with colorful and…
