    Blues Portrait Volume 3 by Pauline Bailey

    If you want to pick an argument, get into a discussion with a professional musician about what constitutes blues music.

    There are those who regard themselves as “blues players” and those who do not, and never the twain shall meet.

    There’s a mindset among some self-described blues players that they’re the “real deal” and everyone else is not. It must really rankle for them to have seen the annual Bluesfest evolve into a (mostly bland) celebration of the mainstream.
