|
Oct 18th 2010 | 11

It's not about associating with the achievements of others though |
|
Oct 18th 2010 | 52

Oct 18th 2010 | 56

because we're not supposed to... |
|
Oct 18th 2010 | 57

White people invited the guitar and the piano. |

Oct 19th 2010 | 91

The blues was originally played on banjo. |
|
Oct 19th 2010 | 95

Oct 19th 2010 | 131

Yes, that is the downside of it. |
