The Blues In Schools....Parts Two And Three!

We now move forward in David's life. His less than serious attempt at college and his constant drawing toward the music in which he would eventually become totally involved. And....the beginnings of one of America's finest musical accomplishments, Widespread Panic.

As David mentioned last night during WSP's appearance at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles, he didn't realize the true influence the Blues had on his musical career overall. He also felt he had disclosed more about his personal life than ever before in an interview.

I would like to think that it was because David and I rarely have the opportunity to bond in a normal father-son way. It seems strange that the one way we can really speak frankly is on mic.

Nevertheless....here it is....with all it's "absolutelys". Another hour and a half of straight talk between two people who love life; love each other and love the Blues.

I had to break this section into two pieces as it was too long for some folks to download.

C'est la vie!
