      I'm with ya on that issue bruv. I'm a retired drummer and due to age (I'm 63) and age related muscle and joint pain then I have to medicate and stimulate myself to get through a rigorous drumming session, so, it's ibuprofen with codeine, caffeine, ginseng and Red Bull for me. 😂

    I'm an "essential worker" that has been pushing 65-70 hours a week for the last few years. I recently discovered this channel. This music now always plays in the background and heals my weary spirit in ways I could never have comprehended. Justin is a true blues man and a gifted teacher. I learned my first blues lick in minutes off his instructional material last night. Others have said it. I'll repeat it. Justin is saving lives with this gift of his. Much love!❤

    My love for blues came from my grandpa. When I was little my grandpa would play various songs on his record player and he sit there in a trance. I looked at him curiously asking him “ grandpa why you look so sad and happy at peace at the same time” he told me “ Buy when you get older you’ll find out that life as a man gives you the blues, Wether it be a breakup or stressful day at work. Listening to the blues gives a man solace and peace, cause it’s the only joy a man can have with the time he has” here I am 35+ years later, I finally understand what he’s talking about thank you grandpa you’re the best, R.I.P Grandpa

      Of course in a future movie.
      He could be the main character of a road movie sort of documentary bit real movie standards, something new but BuenaVistaSocialClub made me think of something, movie music. A great sound and visual experience through various US landscapes, there could be Justin listening to people ideas about life or anything they like, music of course, see some tradition crafting on wood, steel, leather.. classic mechanic, small farming, houses builders, maybe new pioneers. Voices, faces, instruments, tools, nature, materials, working hands...
      Easy to shoot several hours and record ..

    I think God himself must have taught Justin Johnson play a guitar!
    I just got 4 double CD's & 1 single CD sent to me here in Australia & I play them ALL the time.
    I just can't get enough.
    Even Buddha (my Amstaff) mellows out to them with his mum but I don't share my single malt Whiskey with him😉

    I just looked up "badass" in the dictionary and the definition is a blues guitar player that uses a rattlesnake tail as percussion in his music. Awesome touch.

    I put this on for background ambience while getting some work done, but during “Slow Blues in the Mississippi Delta” I kept looking up and saying ‘god damn!’ or whistling. And every time Justin was just kicked back, stoically playing the absolute hell out of that cigar box. Killer stuff. I’m hooked.

    Soul-soothing elixir. Mellow, somber, and intense--but from a distance. I'm involved, but as an observer, not a participant. It's like watching a bad guy getting beaten into the ground...without having to do it myself. Just as satisfying, but much less strenuous, if you see what I mean. :)
