"Where would we be without it? Literature helps us to understand the world, to see and feel and empathise with other cultural values, other points of view. It stimulates our thinking and, on a very basic level, entertains us."

"Στην μουσική βιομηχανία, για κάποιους λόγους κάνεις πράγματα πολύ δύσκολα, αλλά αξίζει, είδες κάναμε νέο άλμπουμ περνώντας μέσα από δύσκολες καταστάσεις μέχρι να γίνει, αλλά στο τέλος αξίζουν όλα. Η μουσική είναι η γλώσσα του σύμπαντος!"

"I think it’s a fine balance; you can have all the skill, technique etc., but if it doesn’t have the feel, the soul, and the emotion, I don’t feel that it really says much or that it can touch somebody. For me, it has the have the feel, soul, and emotion. That being said, it’s good to have skill and technique in there as well. I think it’s important to know your instrument, to strive for perfection, and to continually try to get better. For me, the guitar…

Posted on March 26, 2024 at 10:30am 0 Comments

"Clarksdale is the birthplace of the Blues. Most people who travel here are looking for something. And I really don't know what that something is, maybe the presence of the fellas who started it all, I'm not sure, but I heard there is a feeling when you come here. And a lot of people come here to chase that feeling or they want to stand where Robert Johnson stood."

Q&A with Nashville-based blues/rock singer Chris BadNews Barnes, a dynamic, high-energy performer with sense of humor

Posted on March 26, 2024 at 9:30am 0 Comments

"My hope for the future is that the Blues gets more attention than it does, even the Grammy Award for Blues is not considered primetime worthy; to me that’s unfair. My fear is programming is the demise of American Blues Music."

Q&A with veteran Massachusetts-based Anthony Geraci, one of the best instrumentalists in the blues world today

Posted on March 26, 2024 at 9:00am 0 Comments

"I would recommend young musicians slow down! There is no easy path to being an artist in any genre. You start with nothing. Just like a baby taking its first step-you have to learn the first note…then the next note. I’ve taught The History of The blues, History of Rock and Roll, World Music on the college level. Learning the history of your art is something that has always been important to me."…
