Can’t wait for the triggered responses from the Country purists.

The blowback from Jazz was hilarious.

"What white people like to call 'country music' was in fact invented by blacks, that is to say, African Americans, and stolen from these same African Americans, or rather, blacks, long before the turn of the century.

Blind Bobby Barker, Crippled Carl Crocker, Infirm Izzy Izzard and Deaf Danny Derwood were all in the Mississippi Delta playing hillbilly music. Which is especially impressive since they didn't have any hills.

Or billies -- the result of the post-Civil War anti-billying movement."

He made a new documentary film on the Mayo Clinic and it’s on Netflix.

I know people who love that doc.

Thought it was subpar.

Then again my rule on Jazz is if you can't dance to it, you don't want to know about it.
