Ainslie’s Performance Was Extraordinary
Scott Ainslie’s performance was extraordinary. Students positively glowed throughout the concert and were impressed with his scholarly knowledge of Blues history and his musical technique. Students assigned Ainslie’s show the highest possible rating on the survey scale.
If Ainslie comes back to town, I’d plan to take students to his shows again in a heartbeat.
It was a truly remarkable experience that was so entertaining, you hardly notice the volumes of information being conveyed to you about the Blues and the people who played it.
