QUOTES
“ I just want to thank you and let you know how much I appreciate your work. Thank you for keeping our story straight. Thank you for the wonderful magazine, the podcasts, and EVERYTHING. I am a subscriber and contributor, so this is not empty praise. I love the work you and your wife do. Until I "found" you, I was getting discouraged about the preservation and promulgation of our culture. It was hard to find our blues anywhere without looking at others running it as their own. Painful really. I was glad to learn from Brother Yusef's article that there is a growing trend of young blacks taking up the blues. They don't get the exposure, but they are doing it. This brings a smile to my heart, as do you. Thank you. Much love
Gloria White”

“The blues is an impulse to keep the painful details and episodes of a brutal experience alive in one’s aching consciousness, to finger its jagged grain, and to transcend it, not by the consolation of philosophy but by squeezing from it a near-tragic, near-comic lyricism. As a form, the blues is an autobiographical chronicle of personal catastrophe expressed lyrically”
