[Dixielandjazz] Interesting Sites

[william crist]

Here are a couple of sites from the Cool Tricks and Trinkets newsletter
that might be interesting to listmates.

D.R.U.M. 
Wannabee drummers will have a blast putting their virtual sticks to use
on Drumline. This online user matrix is a 'play area' that allows you to
create and loop your own original drum 'rolls'. 
Wake the neighborhood with a combination of single stroke rolls,
multiple bounces and double stroke open rolls while reliving the glory
days of your high-school garage band. The site even allows you to save
your slamming compositions as 'Sheet Music' to play at a later date.

Louis Jordan 
Music fans will love this official website dedicated to the life and
work of Louis Jordan. The site pays due tribute to 'The Father of the
Rhythm and Blues', the man who paved the way for legends such as Bo
Diddley, B.B. King and Chuck Berry. 
There is something for everyone here, just use the website's music guide
which is split into two sections, the 'Casual Listener' and the
'Obsessive Collector'. In addition to complete song lyrics, discography
and plenty of albums available for purchase, fans can browse the site's
many features which include a Time Line, Photo Gallery and information
on the Louis Jordan Tribute Fund.
