Blues societies = blues nazis???

[gtrmac@prodigy.net]

Yes Blues Society's Blues Nazis could be any blues society  proclaiming that
the blues should only be done a  certain way or trying to control who plays
it . For example if you don't play it the way we think you should you will
never play in this town again. Or a certain group of people who play and who
don't  for example they are not giving every artist a fair shake .only their
favorites!.
