[Dixielandjazz] Wonderful Music to Discover on MySpace

[Roger Wade]

Thank you Bill Sargent for your posts on MySpace and also those  
regarding digital music sales.

I have had a great deal of fun with my profile page on MySpace:  
http://www.myspace.com/reallyoldrecords .

I originally signed up so that I could keep up with my songwriter son  
Ken's new songs as he posted them.  But as I made my way around the  
site I discovered a great many terrific musician profile pages, each  
with 3-5 songs available to listen to.  So I began adding them to my  
"Friends" list so that when I am online I can open MySpace in a  
separate tab and listen to great music while I work.

Below are a few links to some of my favorites that I have found so far,

I think you get the idea.  I'm sure that I've only scratched the  
surface of this great musical resource.  There are also tribute pages  
to many great performers from the past, such as Bunk Johnson, Django  
Reinhardt, Annette Hanshaw, and many many more.

I hope many of you wil look at and listen to some of these performer  
pages and derive as much enjoyment from them as I have.

Best regards,
