Dear Friends,
Here we are out the gate. August 2009 was our launch month.
Thanks to my daughter Maya for designing and setting up this website. As you can see, we are still building the site. Before long, we will offer Podcasts. We are also still trying to get photos from all the artists.
Already, we need to offer explanations. Sadly, we lost the great Piedmont bluesman John Cephas during the time when I was writing the text for the artist features. The website is devoted to contemporary bluesmen and women, but life is not permanent, as we know. Already, with John’s passing we had to confront a policy decision : We will not remove anyone from the list once they are on it. I started to write in June 2009. Everyone included was alive when we started, as this is not a history of the country blues. But, when we lose a friend, we keep the memory alive.
Please tell your friends and come back soon!
