So…those who truly believe black artists have no place in country music…

Can go f*ck themselves. I’m not kidding. 🤨
Yee Haw ! 🤠

"All music is folk music 'cause all music is made by folks." -C. Mingus.

Although I do believe this quote was pre-Kraftwerk and AI,I still stick with it.
Our racist minded kin might as well also admit the huge extent to which good ol' classic country was steeped in gospel,but I wouldn't wish to injure their narrow little minds too much...

@dubkebab [quote]"All music is folk music 'cause all music is made by folks." -C. Mingus[/quote] I used to own a copy of [i][b]"Beneath The Underdog"[/b][/i], the autobiography of Charlie Mingus. Thanks for reminding me that I need to replace it! 🤗

@ArtieKat Great book. I think I lifted the quote from there. That ol' rascal led quite a life.

@dubkebab I only saw Mingus live in concert once - in about 1971, at Liverpool University - but he was brilliant

@ArtieKat If only you had sent 3 year old me a ticket .
Bet you weren't thinking of that,and how you could have altered my destiny,huh?
And I guess my Mom a ticket,so she could have,y'know,mothered me.
But she was never very into jazz,really.So it took me until college to start getting it.
Hey,I didn't take any three year olds to shows either come to think of it.
So we're cool. Glad you witnessed the legend.
