Thanks Alan - very good!

Here's some more raw blues for you. It's Matt Anderson who is local to my part of the world. At almost 400 pounds Matt is a big man but his real presence happens when he starts thrashing out his blues on his acoustic guitar. I've seen him in person and he plays that guitar so forcefully its hard to imagine how he isn't breaking strings. His voice is wonderful too. A great raw performer, highly repected in this part of the world.

Regards, Ross

Here's another raw (but smooooth) performance I like. I stumbled upon him at Youtube. It is Cajun musician Guy Fanguy playing the Jim Stafford song Swamp Witch. (Jim Stafford is the guy who wrote all kinds of comedy songs in the '70s - songs like 'The Streak'). Guy Fanguy isn't famous but I like his style and his smooth voice. Here he is performing America's Lonely People .
