Hi Grant
Welcome to AoS.
Zeppelin and Humph eh?!

[struth]

Odd mix I know I suppose, but I kinda started with zep in the 60's and later got the Humph bug.......and most good stuff in between...got a lot of blues stuff....an awful lot; but don't tell the wife..

oh, and thanks for the reply...

I'm sorry you had to wait so long for someone to acknowledge your welcome post. Normally, we're rather better than that!
So what sort of blues do you lean towards?

[struth]

I have a broad range TBH....depends on the mood,...Chicago electric is probably most exciting and musical to the ear, but Delta is stunning as well....Favorites would be Albert King, Mississippi John Hurt and John Lee Hooker...oh and a special mention to my all time fav....Big Bill Broonzy...

You like the Blues yourself?

[The Grand Wazoo]

Oh yes, I've got a deep deep love of the blues!
I'm currently rediscovering folks like Furry Lewis, Joe Callicot and Juke Boy Bonner.

Good stuff......I have some Furry stuff...kinda country blues with bottleneck..might have a few tracks of Callicot and Bonner on some folkways or smithsonian records....got a lot of old vinyl and loads of remasters on cd.....prefer the original scratchy stuff tbh.....I have a couple of wind up gramophones as well...love the sound.

Excellent!
