<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>yes, i agree, mayer's vocalizations cannot be
followed without a lyric sheet, and he looks pretty funny too as he sings, but
he plays guitar well above average, in many different styles and
tones.....</FONT></DIV>

Hope</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV> <BR>John Mayer, while occasionally interesting as an
acousitc 'guitarist,' is, as far as 'the blues' is concerned, nothing but
fluff.<BR><BR>If Mayer is the new 'great white hope' for 'the blues' ... well,
then, 'the blues' is in bigger trouble than I thought.<BR><BR>I will remain
connected to, (however mouldy and shop-worn, trodden upon and looked down at
with contempt by many as "that old stuff"), Mr. Otis Rush, Mr. Freddie King,
Mr. Albert King, Mr. BB King, Little Milton Campbell, Mr. Chester Burnett, Mr.
Johnny Shines, Mr. McKinley Morganfield, Mr. Willie "Fuckin'" Dixon, Mr.
Robert Johnson, Mr. Buddy Guy, Mr. Eddie House, Mr. Charles Patton, Mr.
Charles Brown, Mr. Paul Butterfield, Mr. Peter Greenbaum, and even, yes, Mr.
Eric Clapton and many many more (a list longer than my tired fingers have the
will to type out) that will stand the test of time and tides, for *my* blues,
thank you very much.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
