Basically your lurid and over-wrought imagination. What can I say about those who so fervently pick up on gay intimations? There's that lurking suspicion..."...methinks she/he protesteth too much..." also "The empty vessel makes the loudest sound."
Of course you can always suck on a harmonica--the offer is open to you.

Both Gringotim and Zunbake3 provide some fabulous links to my 1st love...and that's the blues.

Bluesmen have "always" and a day referred to women folk as "little girl". I still do. And I catch HELL for doing it. Peoples' jaws drop when I proclaim "I prefer "little girls" to these hags you might consider "age appropriate" for me". When I Ricky Ricardo it (as in 'splainin' to Lucy what's what), and note "I'm referring to younger women now.....anybody 18 or older is fair game. I KNOW they just want my money, but in as much as I am paying them to leave anyway, it really isn't much of a bother anymore." The remnants of family purport shockness; I've been escorted out of a Perkins; been told to leave dinner tables in both restaurants and the homes of "friends"; blah, blah, blah. I ain't adapting to the PC speak; they're not taking my blues away from me; and they can go fuuck a duck for all I care.

"little girls". Hell, Riley King first met her when she was sweet 16 and Charles Berry was singing and messing around with sweet little 16 year olds way back when. I'm just waiting for the day when the thought police tell me I shall be incarcerated for loving a musical genre. I also am waiting for the day when some twat or PC policeboy tells me to stop playing a CD or record which is proclaiming the joys of rolling and tumbling. Incredible how you pay your dues from Viet Nam forward and yet STILL have to confront people wanting to take away the very most simplest of pleasures. I predict a BAN on the blues in the not too near future. Get all you can before "they" purge the vaults and we're left with the karoke singers.

Hounddog Taylor and McKinnley Morganfield are two prime Chicago players. Otis wasn't too shabby himself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy2tEP3I3DM and neither was/is Buddy Guy who we have here before he whitened up his guitar style to bring in more ducats http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k54r_ANt8o

OK, PR, you have an offer on the table from LAdiablo for a taste of the stuff you seem to be focusing in on......trip report when completed? I'm holding my breath..... (PS: Isn't an aspect of the "cool guys club" MDE way the circle jerk you guys do to get the ball rolling?!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KaWSOlASWc for ya, buddy

Y'all need to get yo' funky cheeks over to the Board PhoenixRising hipped me to: http://www.music-discussion.com/ Be a shame not to share all that knowledge and passion with other committed music lovers, raising the bar big time. Another nameless Bro was just recruited and we could sure use your help. Not stealing from here; adding to there.

Those "handlers" of mine.....what a swell bunch. Getting off the "phone" with these untested, but "in charge" types, I am compelled to repost my thoughts.....:

I been scarred and battered
My hopes the wind done scattered
Snow has friz me
Sun has baked me
Looks like between 'em
they done tried to make me
Stop laughin'
stop lovin'
stop livin'
But I don't care
I'm still here
