He could have been immersed in Good Time and American Roots music. Albums by John Fahey's guitarwork are nicely evocative. Leon Redbone is a bit quirkier.
You're welcome. I came across it by happy accident.Thanks for posting that, I'm a big fan of the song too. I'm a bit disappointed though - it came from the bloody tuning? I always thought he'd say the inspiration was the rhythms and sounds of India's music and instrumentation. But no, drugs and fucking about with tuning (I'm assuming the drugs, since it was the 70s). 'Sounds a bit like a sitar'.
Yes, doesn't he look just the best? Those shirt cuffs?? Beautiful.I've not seen that doco, many thanks. Love Jimmy's coat! The first time I seriously listened to Jack White, I thought, he's the first guitarist to come anywhere close to Page, riff wise.
I could never quite figure out why Keith Richards became known as The Human Riff- Page had many more memorable ones, I reckon.

I can remember the first time I heard Jack White playing on the radio. It grabbed me by the throat. It's only recently I've let myself look at interviews of him (you know, in case you find out that someone whose music you love turns out to be an ass?) and love the way he talks about creativity.

Isn't the crux of the issue the apparent need to 'decide'? Why does it need to be a choice, I wonder? I mean - of course, we all have to earn a living. But let's assume that we have the energy and compunction to do more than just that. Can't we give our time to as many different outlets as we can manage, without feeling the need to specialise in just one? I don't know. I want to say yes to that. But then I also know you only get good at something the more you do it. Hm.Something else to think on. I could never decide what to do with my music or my writing, so I got a job instead. Still can't decide. Honestly was, too many options.

Yes. My son earns a living from his music. It's 110%, or it's a side interest and you need a paying job. It's not easy.Yeah, to make it in music, you need to dedicate yourself to it properly. Same with writing, if you want to succeed, you have to treat it as a business. Otherwise, it'll always be just a hobby.
