Hi,
In my view this material is an excellent Blues history primer. Its authoritative, without be overly fact bound and dry. It covers many bases in a clear interesting and thought provoking way. Its leveled just right, enough content to inform, interest and entertain.
The presentation is very well done and is easy to consume and interspersed with some excellent representative recordings.
Wonderful job, and one that I enjoyed and benefited from.
many thanks

So good to hear from you again. We’ve missed you.
