Sponsor Meeting(Sub)

For the next week and most of this week, my duties to my commitments has had we bound to the school. But I did not let my inability to see my sponsor discourage me from learning something new in my field.
Earlier in the year I post a Blog explaining that I choose audio production and music recording because I had become comfortable with my playing abilities. In retrospect, "I was a damn fool", I have no idea how I could have allowed myself to fall victim to talent satisfaction.
I digress, I say all of this to say, I've discovered a brand new world of music to explore. After performing at Princeton's Jazz festival a few weeks ago, I realized that there was more to Jazz than once perceived. If I wanted to truly become the great musician I wanted to be, I would have to fall further down the rabbit hole. So I picked up my guitar, warmed up my computer and discovered a plethora of new influences. So expect to hear more of the unsung heroes of the 1920' through 40's in up coming weeks.
Wes Montgomery: Jimi Hendrix looked up to this guy.

  2. I am so excited about you wanting to explore the old stuff - the roots! This is a favorite program of mine that I hear on NPR.
