I download my music form Frostwire(same thing as Limewrire). I get the music in the library and it goes to my iPod and everything. The next day when I go to iTunes, the music is not in the iTunes library BUT it is still in my iPod and everything. The only way I can listen to music on iTunes is if i plug in my iPod. Otherwise there is no music on the library. What can I do?

You can’t….. iTunes knows those files are illegal and now you have yourself some problems….what you do is buy your music, and then it will show in your library…

This song is on a CD made by HillTop Records of Hollywood, CA.
The name of the CD is "America", ACD-430. It is performed by a female vocalist, Kathy Rider. It is a professionally done recording with first class musical accompanyment and arrangement of the lyrics and music that I wrote many years ago. This was one of my life long dreams come true to have it published.

What are some descent blues and jazz clubs in the Boston area?

If you saw my post on hip hop, I will continue. I was married several years and not been to clubs for about that long. I have heard about the Beehive and some other places that are really poppin and make the House of Blues seem like the Disney version of blues. HoB is not my sort of place. I need a club with more character than that. Maybe something in the South End area. Let me know if you know.

1.Do you read album reviews, like before you get it?
2. How much do you trust them
3. What site do you trust the most on reviews if any
4. Name some albums that you love/like that did not get good reviews, or didn’t get high ratings, if any

I normally don’t trust reviews…but during random moments, especially if I’m gonna purchase the album before hearing it, will I chek out album reviews beforehand.

The American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1966 Vol. 1 (4ª Parte)

April 26, 2011 by · Leave a Comment
Filed under: blues festivals 

Unearthed some 40 years after the fact, this has to be one of the finest blues collections ever assembled on video. Thanks to a couple of young promoters who brought the musicians to Europe–where they were treated with a good deal more respect and dignity than in America–we get an extraordinary lineup of bluesmen and women: Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Sippie Wallace… the list goes on. Their concert performances (several in stagy but effective down-home settings) before a rather formal but appreciative German audience have them playing in some cool combinations (T-Bone Walker backing Memphis Slim, Otis Rush with Junior Wells), even introducing one another (Williamson on guitarist Lonnie Johnson, an elder statesman on the tour: “A very nice musician”)–and all with great sound (mono, but still flawless) and visuals (in black and white). This is one for blues fans to treasure.
Reelin’ In The Years Productions, in association with Experience Hendrix, bring you the American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1966 Volumes One & Two. The AFBF was an annual event that featured the cream of American blues musicians barnstorming their way across western Europe every fall from 1962 through 1966. Recorded live in a small TV studio in Germany, these historic and unseen performances have been lost for nearly 40 years. Filmed with superb camera work and pristine sound, each DVD contains 18 complete performances from the greatest blues musicians of all time. Captured during their heyday in an era of scant video documentation, these DVDs are truly one of the most unique and precious visual documents of the blues.
The American Folk Blues Festivals featured a dazzling array of talent that included such greats as Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker and Sonny Boy Williamson playing alongside other legends such as T-Bone Walker, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Memphis Slim and Big Mama Thornton to create the most significant group of blues artists ever assembled!.
