If you want to hear a real awesome tradional blues show listen to the web simulcast of Blues before sunrise. It is a radio show that runs late on Saturday nights in various markets including Chicago. It's all tradionial Blues and there is allot information stuff about what is being played. The web simulcast can be heard at:

The solo stuff or partnered?

The solo stuff seemed more genuine on Spirit Moves - but the partnered stuff seems more a caricature or parody of how people woulda actually been dancing together..

im only really nterested in the solo stuff right now. the partnered stuff that was actually filmed at the savoy was pretty cool but Al Minns blows my mind with his dancing in the diaper and at the savoy......DAMN.

It makes me wonder if i have to like wang to dance like that.......soooooo friekan good.

In seattle we should play some blues and wear diapers.
