Damir, I Do recognize one word in your fictitious email response: "bluff"

perfect!

Barry - No problem, I was just really surprised...but I don't know if you work the blues circuit or not. I was joking - yet completely serious - about what's called the "Antelope Valley" near L.A. - a desert area near Edwards AFB that would seem like a country Mecca - and is to a point - but also is a a blues hotbed. Ginger Baker even lived out there a while and would periodically show up in some tiny dive to sit in with a blues band - many of which were formed on a day's notice.

So I think geography might enter into it a bit - and Chicago, where I've also spent some time, might easily have thousands of blues musicians with varying gig experience.

I know the (Antelope Valley) area well having worked it in the early '90's. The blues must have taken over after the Garth-induced death of country ....

So... the guy in the video never responded to the email?

Hmm...that's the same time I was out there a lot - some of us were playing both blues and country, with a huge mess of cross-pollination. Guys like Pat Lyman on bass and "Meatball" on drums - with a country front line one night, Elmore James clones the neext...sometimes at the same clubs. I'd do a bluegrass dobro thing one night and play a Les Paul in an "instant" blues band the next...and I was one of the few "outsiders" playing (being from the beach). But we had some blues jams with easily 200 players.

No, until now, he or they didn't reply. It was not exactly an e-mail, btw. It was a PM on the youtube system directed to the person who posted the video, which is not necessarily the person we see on the video.

... J-D.

This is gobbledegook. It bears no relationship to any Indo-European language !

Correct. Damir has already told us he made it up... it's just a joke.

The guy in the video did not respond to the email.

Seum dani, si ergo. Twentibus es in ero.
O nobili! Demis trux. Seum holen cowsan dux.

My Latin teacher didn't think that was very funny either, but it apparently looked enough like Latin to a bunch of people who knew just a little Latin to get them tripped up and try to translate it.

That's about as close to this thread as I dare get. Actually, I think it's refreshing to see an impasse among some fine players here. Maybe that sounds strange, but I think this all has much more to do with metaphysics, epistemology, and logic than steel guitar.
