Is mentoring enough to close the Bakersfield Sound generation gap?: Find out. Go underground.
As the local underground music scene goes, t's one of the hottest topics to hit the Streets of Bakersfield in recent days. I'm talking about the Bakersfield Sound generation gap. Up until now, I've been doing my best to put a spotlight on the problem, and the nature of the problem. With the introduction of a brand new rockin' round table discussion today, I've begun to introduce solutions. The one being brought to the table for discussion today is mentoring, and its role in bridging the Bakersfield Sound generation gap. You have to go underground to get in on the discussion, but you might as well, as the Kern country country cognoscente say, "If you ain't goin' underground, you ain't goin' anywhere!" Check it out and be sure to contribute today at: Bakersfield Sound Underground, where the old Bakersfield Sound finds new ground: 2 comments from 2 users

For roots-oriented musicians, who believe that the best new music is born from the old, such a generation gap appears to be a problem. Not everybody likes the same kind of music, but you don't have to like a particular style of music to have some form of appreciation for its influence, or its value in serving as the breeding ground for new forms of music. But I understand where you're coming from. I used to hate a lot of country music that, over the years, I've come to appreciate, and, in some cases, love.
Yes, it's Sir Paul. And yes, you were pretty observant to recognize Pink Floyd in the picture. It was not an accident that traces of the Beatles and Pink Floyd were juxtaposed against a big cowboy hat and a western attire. Historically, country music and rock cannot be seen as anything but inseparable. At least that's my opinion. As always, I appreciate your intelligent comments and your unique perspective.

Why is it a problem ?.... some people like country and some don't.... I was born and raised here and I don't like country... it's no big deal.... BTW is that Macca peering out from behind you in the pic ? Edit - Never mind, I see it is Sir Paul once I enlarged the pic - Nice DSOTM shirt... Pink Floyd... now that's my kind of music !!!
