Can you really be a Jazz expert without having been to New Orleans?

[SpursforSix]

Hypothetical question.

Of course one could learn all the names, dates, and facts, etc. But can one really...truly be an expert without having gone to the Big Easy and listened and talked with the living, breathing musicians that make this music?
Can you be a blues expert without ever having had a beer in a juke joint in Mississippi while a three piece of locals are laying it down?

Can one really be a track expert without having ran a 20 second 200?

Knowledge without experience is empty indeed.

Black guy named Leroy Brown lives in Greenwood Mississippi today, he is the bouncer at a little juke joint on the outskirts of town. On Friday and Saturday nights the joint is jumping. All the local blues cats like Guitar Welch, Smokey Hogg, Hogman Maxey, Hambone Willie Newberne, Babe Stovall, Grover "Big Eyes" Smith and others love to play there because of the pay and the women. And, the best moonshine in Mississippi.

Leroy has heard them all. And he himself can blow some harmonica.

Avante...hey Leroy.
Leroy...hey
Avante...what can ya tell me about those St. Louis piano players Roosdevelt Sykes, Walter Davis, Peetie Wheatstraw?
Leroy...never heard of them.
Avante...I see..hgmmm? Can ya talk them Texass blues, ya know Blind Lemon Jeffeson, Texas Alexander, Little Hat Jones, Boobie Cadillac, Funny Papa Smith, Black Boy Shine, Black Ace, Black Ivory King?

Avante...hmmm? Well how about the first Mississippi blues cats like....Charley Patton, Son House, Willie Brown, Rube Lacy, Geechie Willey, Kid Bailey, Tommy Johnson, Uncle Bud Walker, Mattie Delaney, Ishman Bracey, Freddie Spruell, Bukka White, Bo Carter, Skip James, Mississippi Moaner, Mississippi John Hurt, Mississippi Bracey, Garfield Akers, Joe Callicott, Louis Johnson, Tommy McClennan, Sonny Boy Nelson, Rosie May Moore, Cryin' Sam Colins, Big Joe Williams and Robert Johnson
Leroy..I have heard of that last one, Robert Johnson, he was killed somewhere around here, right?
Avante...good one Leroy.

Again...all your knowledge is second hand. If you haven't heard live New Orleans Jazz or Delta Blues, you really are deficient if you purport yourself to be an expert.

Who would you rather talk to about the blues, an old bluesman who plays a fantastic slide that knows...0...about the history of the music, blues outside his county, female singers, piano blues, or anything about the recording artists, or a guy like myself?

Howe many history teachers fought in the cival war?

[I. Hustle]

Indubitably

[Quetzal-X]

Totally missed the point didn't ya stupid?

Judy is gonna be the new Aunt Jemima with a pancake ass tho , you got that hoe? Hope you are gettin fit .

[140]

I don't see how that would be possible. It's as ludicrous as someone who only ran a 25 second 200m claiming to be a track and field expert.

[Avante]

Little man, do your parents know you are on their computer?
