Fine blues on that Route 66 link! Great tones from the guitar / amp too.
Contrasting styles on display!
Not been listening to much blues lately, but on the acoustic front I do regularly listen to Martin Simpson who can hit the notes in blues!

i have a few books by Martin about playing in open and altered tunings and they have helped me a lot.
This one below is more like his usual - I love his guitar playing, and his lyrics are often full of feeling.

I'm afraid that my music listening recently has been hijacked by listening to 2012 and later live Nightwish recordings. I know ... at near retirement age should I be listening to symphonic metal. But with a vocalist as wonderful as Floor Jansen and a real music composer in Tuomas Holopainen I just find myself drawn in, often to the emotion of the piece rather than any metal elements. Praise be too that they have a very good male vocalist who does not do the crazed zombie growls that afflict so many bands of that genre. I've also watched with great enjoyment the current years episodes of a Dutch music TV show, Beste Zangers where I found my liking for singing covers more genres and styles than I thought. I looked it out as Floor was in it, and discovered other singers of great vocal qualities.
On the exotic instrument front I'll have to stick with the cheap option of VST instruments.
I'm exploring some possible instrument combinations, with disregard for things like getting the timing right!
For example, a Zither, a native American flute the name of which escapes me, and a bit of percussion and acoustic guitar. Fun!
I didn't call it PhD out of any academic connections, but I found out after the event it was in Phrygian Dominant.
I don't really know what mode I play in when I start a piece on a keyboard.
