Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

best album ever...

R&B is a toss up for me. Songs in the Key of Life, Innervision, or anything by Smokey Robinson.
damn.
and Missippi John Hurt, roy buchannan, SRV, and of course


now, where did I put that last blue cheer. . . .hmmm
mmm....for blues, it's a serious toss-up between robert johnson and mississippi fred mcdowell, far as i'm concerned. oh, and bukka white's badass, too. and blind willie johnson.

i was just thinking about it, and this one's pretty badass. clarence ashley's style inspired me to play banjo, and i'm working on getting the feel right to play in his style.
