it´s better to steal and then shake it like a cocktail.if you have ability to do it, and then put your own signature on it,then everybody praise,borrow and return.

Most blues is borrowed from other sources. They used a line here and a phrase there. Even Robert Johnson's songs have bits of other people's songs.

Live the blues then pick up that guitar

Right. I know all about inspiration and influence. I was merely mentioning that Led Zeppelin did steal, because they played other peoples' songs and putting on the album that Page and Plant wrote them. I see nothing wrong with doing different arrangements of someone else's songs, but the credit should be given to the original artists. Like Bring it on Home, they took the credit until Willie Dixon sued them.

Even Isacc Newton was a thief. He said, "If I have been able to see farther than others, it was because I stood on the shoulders of giants." Its called inspiration and it comes from many things. What amazing things do you really think would come from a person born in an empty room, who lived in an empty room and died in an empty room. We are all part of it.

Out of curiosity, who are the other two? I'm guessing Leadbelly and Robert Johnson. Of course I love Howlin' Wolf, too.
