Re: All and all it's just another brick in the well



From: "L. Bird" <pkeets@hotmail.com>
"Here's another interesting thought about influcences.  I'd like to propose 
that black musicians (such as Hendrix) would have never come up with 
feedback as a musical technique.  That kind of squall doesn't seem to occur 
in the black culture at all, but it does occur in Celtic music.  It took a 
Celt to recognize the electronic scream as a musical sound, and get the 
notion to control it."

Who and when?  Let's talk history, not social/cultural theory.
BTW, I'll agree that Hendrix did not invent it. He just perfected the 
technique.
