About the editing of the Seasick Steve article
This message was typed in the article:

"Steve has asked that whoever is contributing the infomation of who Steve played with in the 60's etc to please not. He just wants people to listen to the music and figure it out themselvs. He says all this name dropping is exactly what is wrong with the blues and also what is killing it. Thanks The Skunk (Seasick Steve official information service)"

To the editor from that message: with all respect, I myself am a big fan of Seasick Steve, but this article is an encyclopedic text and is not meant as a propaganda website for personal opinions, not even from Seasick Steve himself (or especially not from Seasick Steve himself: see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view). The information about who Seasick Steve preformed with is factual information with a cited source. It's meant for people who are interested in musical history. See it as a history text book.

Before editing Wikipedia again, I suggest you read the following information about this project:

Also, it is possible to put Seasick Steve's own opinions in the article, but it must be done in the proper place. You can notice that I've actually included his opinion about namedropping in the trivia section, where I'm collecting different quotes from the musician and such.

Please do not edit the article anymore before discussing this in the talk page of the article!
