I think quite a timely post actually. I know exactly where you are coming from. The whole concept of plagiarism seems to have a different significance in different cultures - a bit like the concept of free speech.
The idea that what you put out is substantially your own work (and if not you attribute accordingly) is not a bad one.

There's a huge difference between posting some words, and posting some words prefaced with "here's something I read here".
When teaching kids it is a pain, but you have to teach them that
A white dwarf, also called a degenerate dwarf, is a stellar remnant composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter. not only does not sound like something a 15 year old would write but, looks like they don't understand most of the words.
Usually it gets rewritten as
A white dwarf is also called a degenerate dwarf and is a star remnant made of electron-degenerate matter.
as they can't be bothered looking up the terms they don't understand.
Third try would be
A white dwarf is a star part or quantity that is left after the greater part has been used.
at which point I shake my head sadly and go to the staff room for a shot of whiskey

Oh lordy. Perhaps it is simple senility!

Chalk it up to the Grammar Gremlin.
Any time someone attempts to point out the grammatical incorrectness of someone else's writing then Grammar Gremlin shows up and scrambles up that person's writing.
That's why you daren't say anything about this post.

Free 11 track album clickity[^]
This guy rocks...just say'n
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0
There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

It is a true shame that this was only the 192Kbps version. Major disappointment!
To write "just say'n" is exceedingly lame.

I disagree Mike. Groovy still works great, in the appropriate context, and this is one of them. Grooving music is always a good thing. 
'Just sayin' tends to minimize your statement and comes across as passive-agressive nonsense.
BTW - the downloadable album is older music of his from various albums. It is not an album of new music. Regardless, thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Yeah I found that I had all of the tracks after I downloaded it, but others may not.

Thanks Mike. Joe's one of my all time favourite guitarists.

Welcome, he's one of my favorites also!

I've not heard a lot, although what I've heard is great. I think he was on "Later" once.
Talking of younger blues guitarists, have you heard Joanne Shaw Taylor? We saw her live last year. She also rocks. some of her stuff in the show was tending a little to funk which is not my favourite, but her Texas style stuff is pretty damn good.
She's easy on the eyes too and seems a nice humble lady. English, but living in the US.

I haven't. I'll have to check her out. In a strictly blues aficionado way.

While on a less well known Blues artist theme, did you ever listen to Steamhammer? They were one of my favourite Blues bands (late 60s, early 70s I think). They were one of those groups that had two lead guitarists. It was great how the two leads would weave around each other sometimes, then play together for a chorus effect at others.
I have their first album on CD and I think I have their second on vinyl (retirement project: get all my vinyls digitised!)
Now I'm really musing: ... Chicken Shack ... Blodwyn Pig ... The Hamsters ... time to put Bluesbreakers on (it was Who's Next yesterday!)

She's not to bad but the only stuff I could find on YouTube was live and recording wasn't great, but she definitely has a lot of talent.
IMHO SRV is the greatest blues guitarist ever. One of my favorites by him is Voodoo Chile[^]

Mike, there are a few tracks at clickety[^]. I'm sure she's sent out some download links from her fb page from time-to-time. My son-in-law is the sound guy at Oakville Theatre, so we got some comps for her show there last year.
I'm a sucker for Little Wing myself. I have it by Clapton, Hendrix and SRV (I might have a Roy Buchanan version too!) I'm not sure about the greatest, it's very subjective and Clapton, Page and Beck (amazing that they all played in the same group!)may have claims (what about Hendrix playing the Blues!) and so many more. Jeff Beck does take some beating, possibly not for just Blues per se, but some of his techniques are jaw dropping. He goes way beyond tap chords, at times switching hands between picking and fretting. He did a version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow on "Later" a while back that was just amazing for precision, almost completely feedback and tremelo.
Another note on SRV, I saw his brother a couple of years back, it's like listening to a ghost! Perhaps Jimmy isn't quite to the heights of Stevie, but it sounded very close. The man was a genius, no doubt about it.

Thanks for the link and yes she is very good. "Blackest Day" is awesome!
Yeah Little Wing is right up there. I had a room mate that was a hell of a guitar player that could play Little Wing like SRV, he had a lot of talent but problems that kept him from being great.
Your right there are so many great guitarist that it's hard to pick a 'best' because they all are great in there own way.
Another great guitarist that grew up in Jacksonville, Fl is Derek Trucks, the guy is awesome.
Used to watch him when he was 11 years old, he played with various bands around town and at the beach. My late neighbor and great friend was his aunt so we went to see him occasionally when he played locally. His wife, Susan Tedeschi is a hell of a blues singer also.
