How can you be a PRO and book gigs that people would want to hear you at?

I maybe be wrong but I'm assuming you are White, and REAL blues lovers like
yourself only want to hear the 'real deal' or to put it in your words
"none of that white boy crap".

So all of your practice is for naught......and what does Winslow have to do
with any of this?

You will NEVER really be a Bluesman if you see only things in only Black Vs
White.....

Good luck,
