Baden Powell ~ Samba Triste You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Right on with the Baden Powell pick. Couldn't let that one go by. "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

Acoustic Guitar Magazine did a wonderful write up about Mr. Powell when he passed. I recall the article mentioned in Powell's latter years holding/playing a guitar was painful.... a consequence of holding his guitar against his ribs... his rib bones had been worn down on his right side. | |

Interesting. I've heard of musicians getting arthritis or corpal tunnel from playing, but not rib degeneration.
