Check out his Web site, www.curtisblues.com.
I'm not sure I could tell the difference between
honest-to-God blues and a really good imitation,
but I wouldn't be surprised if Curtis was doing
the latter.
I'd be very interested to know your opinion after
you've heard him. Here's the Web page for his CD:

Was this while you were still with the movement, or
after you'd left? (Or haven't you left?)
Many years ago, I got an email from a TM-Exer after
I'd left a post concerning TM on some forum (before
I'd ever joined alt.m.t, probably around the same
time Curtis contacted you), asking if he could call me
to talk about TM. I was curious as to what he was up
to, so I agreed. He sent me a bunch of materials to
read in preparation.
The materials and the call were pretty much what
you'd expect. He tried hard, but I wasn't buying.
I've long since forgotten his name, but I'd love to
know, since I later got to know a bunch of the
TM-Exers later on alt.m.t. It's the only instance
I know about of their doing "outreach" to somebody
who was an active, committed TMer.

Ah, but that would be "blaming the victim," you see.
In my experience, most former-now-anti-TMers will, if
pressed, admit to a degree of responsibility, but the
real blame is reserved for the TMO. They claim that
they protest the movement because they want to save
others from the same fate.
