Public radio in WA state also has something called Inland Folk, which has promoted a lot of lesser known musicians. I have enjoyed it over the years. I hadn't thought about the cover art on the old albums.....they were wonderful, and the information on the back was fun to read. You could read the lyrics of each tune and the history of the group. Thanks, Julia.

Listening online and downloading isn't as much fun, sigh....but 'tis the way now. Pirating of books (yikes) is a serious concern.....a whole other subject! Lots of people love Britpop today. My husband loves acoustic guitar, my preference too.

It's a double edged sword where it's good to get exposure online but then also it might mean loss of income. We could get our books pirated too!<br /><br />For me, due to my age, I always go back to British guitar music from the mid-90s (Britpop). I like lots of new music, but I'll always hold a soft spot for that era!Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908408097679531435.post-41973729900759012342015-02-14T12:38:18.473-08:002015-02-14T12:38:18.473-08:00Lovely music!

I don't buy music as often as I used to, but I listen to the radio when I'm driving, make note of the songs I like, and then download them from iTunes when I reach a CD's worth. I hope you feel better soon.

I still buy CD's and got a really nice Christmas CD and a CD by Andre Rieu whom I love and got to see twice! I still listen to my old collection and I still have records and tapes! You might like listening to the Battle of the Bands which I found through Arlee Bird at his blog Tossing it Out. On the 1st and 15th some bloggers get together and post a song by 2 different artists and you choose which one you like better and why. I find it quite fun to listen to even though it takes some time.

In the 70s, I was young, didn't have a lot of money, so I'd purchase very few records. Since I didn't have many, I listened to them over and over. To this day I have about half the Beatles' repertoire memorized along with a lot of other weird stuff. Now, I never listen to music. (But that's because I was a professional singer for years, so music now means "work" to me). I hope you feel better.

Our next battle is this Sunday. Normally we pit two versions of the same song against each other.Anyone can listen to the music and vote for the one song version, they like the best... you don'r have to join the bloghop, either.<br /><br />I hope music will continue being posted on the internet.Dixie@dcreliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558671709412200904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908408097679531435.post-56228521368112815462015-02-13T08:38:48.922-08:002015-02-13T08:38:48.922-08:00I agree that there seems to be an explosion of tal...I agree that there seems to be an explosion of talent on the internet.
