Maybe stupid question

Fair enough.

I get into arguments all the time about how much of House music is actually derived from The Blues as well. People can't put together how "Red House" (Hendrix) relates "Don't Leave Me This Way" (Thelma Houston) and how that takes you to a lot of the Classic House music of the late 80s - 90s with the soulful "Black Diva" vocals until I put it to them that way.

I said that. A bunch of posts back.

Hmm.  Ok, I know this is shakey ground, but those "Black Diva" voices you hear are, for the large majority, influenced more by gospel than by blues.  Especially Ms Thelma.  You may want to rethink your thesis, and start with Aretha rather than Jimi.

Oh, I imagine that it's probably fair and also in my best interests to post some of his stuff. It's all music videos and songs that are on the set list.

I have a feeling I'm going to continuously screw this up until Friday.

Thank the gods that this show is on Saturday.
