[Dixielandjazz] Re: Finding bands

[LeslieMRag at aol.com]

I notice that frequently there are queries looking for addresses or phone  
numbers for bands and would just like to remind DJMLers that searching on 
_www.google.com_ (http://www.google.com)  is a great way to find many of  the bands. 
Many bands and musicians have websites with all the pertinent  contact 
information, and many of those sites have excellent links pages. (We  also list 
musicians and bands on the Mississippi Rag site's links page, but it's  probably 
quicker to search on Google.) I always put the band name in quotes to  cut down 
on the selections found (i.e. "Uptown Lowdown Jazz Band")--otherwise  you get 
Uptown, and Lowdown and Jazz Band in a gazillion possible websites. If  the 
band or musician has a website, it's invariably the first one listed on  
Google, and you just click on the hyperlink to go to the site. I put a lot  of 
hyperlinks on the RAG's website and use Google extensively to find various  
artists. I've been using it ever since it was available in a BETA version, and  it's 
still my search engine of choice.
