good dog bit sometimes we must feed the bad
dog a bone

GZ: -Do you remember to have lived any hard
situation that had left one more blues mark on
your soul? GZ: What's your opinion about the fact that

belongs to the afroamerican musicians or it can
be played by either a black musician or any race
worldwide.
Does the Blues have a unique owner or is it
universal?
Ha my soul has a lot of Blues marks! Let's say I've
been stabbed , shot at, ripped off but so far I
have survived the Trump administration
