It does!

It's also the title of an internationally available, bi-monthly Blues magazine, for which, as of the next issue, I will be a contributing writer. To say that this pleases me would be the mother of all understatements, it's one of the proudest achievements of my life!

It is, on a serious note, a top quality magazine and well worth a look.

Love listening to the blues, especially on vinyl.

I think there was one summer about 4 or 5 years, where almost every night my wife and I sat out on our balcony with a glass of wine, and played Lightnin' Hopkins' "Dirty Blues". Never come across that album on cd, so I had to capture the vinyl onto my computer so I could put it on my iPod.

Congrats on the writing job, and thanks for the link...I'll have to check out the site

Yeah, have a look, it's a great little read... I believe available in Canada now too (I know in the Startes it's sold in Virgin and Barnes & Noble branches).

Thanks for the congrats. I'm starting small with a live review... but for the following interview I'm interviewing Marc Ford who used to be in the Black Crowes.

A contributing writer as in they're sticking your name on the masthead, or just as in they're publishing your stuff?

Congrats either way.

I'll be listed on the internal pages, alongside the 'word from the editor' type bit and they'll be publishing me regularly!

It's very exciting

We call that the masthead in Canada.

Congrats again. It's very cool to get on the masthead.

Thanks man.... I'm currently trying to work a connection to the blues into the Hip's music so I can do an article on them...
