You do realize I was quoting rok2id for discussion purposes, I hope.

Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.
Jon Batiste is a musician Rok just introduced me to. From the first notes he played, I knew he was from Louisiana, with out knowing anything else about him.
Here's his bio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Batiste
This is the tune Rok submitted;

It was one I will eagerly add to my collection. I thought I would share this with other music lovers seeking new artists.

Today's Listen: Classic song. Two versions by two of Mississippi's greatest, one a legendary blues singer and one a current Jazz singer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFvnT0X9eFQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdgrQoZHnNY I could never listen to Son House, if I was at home alone at night.

Casandra Wilson from "Jackson Mississippi" is one of my favorites, and from what I heard, she still lives there. Son House, if that ain't the blues I would like to know what is; as one girl I knew would say "Just throw me out in the alley and let me roll with the rest of the tin cans"; that's when she was enjoying the low-down Blues. |
Baby-Face Willette might be from New Orleans; I know his music hits some New Orleans licks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNkag9AKgbA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOANP-92NqQ |
