"Jazz is the big brother of the blues. If a guy's playing blues like we play, he's in high school. When he starts playing jazz it's like going on to college, to a school of higher learning." - B. B. King, born this day in 1925.
I've given away 111 free records over the last 25 months to N&G members. I'd love to send you one. Come getcha some...
"If you want to be a singer, you've got to concentrate on it twenty-four hours a day. You can't be a well driller, too. You've got to concentrate on the business of entertaining and writing songs. Always think different from the next person. Don't ever do a song as you heard somebody else do it." - Otis Redding, born this day in 1941.
"I just block out the demons. I sing. I block them away. I put my pain into my music. I paint. I make my own videos. I direct myself. No one directs me anymore. I am in charge of my destiny." - Dolores O'Riordan, born this day in 1971.

"Music is the only religion that delivers the goods." - Frank Zappa
I've made the very irresponsible decision to send 36 folks a free record in the next year. Get in on this lunacy before I'm corralled to the rubber room...
"I absolutely adore and idolize women. All women. I think they are all amazing. The female musicians I've met have been far more inspiring than the male ones. Women tend to be much more creative and ambitious. I think I may have been a woman in a past life." - Robert Plant, born this day in 1948.
I've given away 108 free records in two years and I'm too stupid to stop now. Get in on this lunacy before I wise up...

Michael Bloomfield, born this day in 1963 - “I was performing with Paul Butterfield and I was the hot-shot guitarist on the block, I thought I was it. I'd never heard of Hendrix...I went across the street and saw him. Hendrix knew who I was, and that day, in front of my eyes, he burned me to death. H-bombs were going off; guided missiles were flying. I can't tell you the sounds he was getting out of his instrument...
"After years of making wrong decisions in my life, in 1977 I found out that it was all right to be square, simple, and sober." - Martha Reeves, born this day in 1941.
"Nico was gothic, but she was Mary Shelley gothic to everyone else's Hammer horror film gothic. They both did Frankenstein, but Nico's was real." - Peter Murphy, born this day in 1957.
