I played Rockabilly growing up but When I herd Freddie King Just picking I was bit He was the first one I never knew who he was Just loved that song Didn't know he was black Didn't know what blues were but that is where It all started. I tried to find more of his music it was not easy in those days in Oklahoma to find blues music. But any way that is where It started and Freddie is still my favorite Black blues player Buddy Guy is a real good player I listen ;to him a lot too

Blues piano was my introduction, a combination in the later 1950s of Jerry Lee Lewis's boogie piano and the influence of a schoolteacher who was supposed to teach us Greek (!), but was much more successful in demonstrating boogie bass figures as used by Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis and Jimmy Yancey. Although Charlie Parker came my way in 1958 and remained the determining factor in my jazz tastes thereafter, I remain to this day a (very) amateur blues piano player.

Not sure really. I was brought up listening to electronic music, late 70s. Never liked disco, rap or anything like that. Then I think my older brother played some Muddy Waters and I was amazed. Nothing much happened back then but years later I got an acoustic guitar (still got it) and I found myself getting into blues music. I've found as I got older (47 now) I like more older music. Ive always loved classical though even as a boy in school. But now its like old time music that gets me. Blues, trad jazz (none of that new stuff). And a lot of piano music. Piano blues, boogie woogie, stride piano. The good stuff.

The folk/blues revival of the 60s while I was at Uni. Although I'm a Brit, I was lucky enough to see the likes of Fred McDowell, Skip James and John Hurt. I'm about equally divided between folk and blues, and my tastes have hardly changed at all since then, though I now muck about with electric slide as well as acoustic.
