Please be advised that the original and still great Devil's Music Forum is back up to full speed! We're at:

http://thedevilsmusic.f2o.org/forum/

Join us for good blues discussion, promotion of all things blues, and various forms of mirth and jocularity.

We have some great CD reviews (your very own B-Dub still consistently posts reviews there) and an archive that is 13 months old. Over 36,000 posts are part of the archive, including reviews and subjects ranging from Johnny Heartsman to what guitar strings are best for blues.

And don't forget the Devil's Music site also includes audio and video samples. New video clips by King Solomon Hill and Texas alexander have just been put up and are stunning. Additional resources include blues lyrics, artist bios, and photo albums.

When you open the following home page, just listen:

The Devil's Music

Blindman has done a superior job here creating a new backup forum and now it is even better as a secondary choice for Internet surfers seeking blues online.

But all of you are free to participate in BOTH forums, as do like B-Dub, MB, et al.
Mosey on over when you get a chance.

As a relative newcomer to this forum business (one who is really enjoying it a great deal, though!) I must admit I'm completely torn over this...

I orginally joined DMF and enjoyed posting there. Then it went down and we all hopped over onto this one - thanks Blindman! Now it's back (for good this time, we're promised!).

Trouble is, much as I might like to, I really don't have the time to monitor and post on more than one forum, so the vexed question is: Which one do I go with?

Advice and suggestions would be greatly appeciated, as I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling this way!

As tough as it is for me to be serious, I have to say that I completely understand where you are coming from Rockindillo - I have maintained that there doesn't have to ba a divorce for our membership, but I also have to agree that practically speaking, while I generally log in and check out each of the sites, I find myself posting here most of the time, because most if not all of the friends that I have made here online have made this their home.
Both Blindman and I have a HUGE investment in time and energy in the DMF CD Sampler, as does Blues Boss in the Tee Shirts, but never the less, if you need to get in touch, this is the place to do it.
Everyone will make the choice that is best for them, but I for one have to remind that this isn't a marriage, or a contract, it is a place to come and relax and have a good time - the best way to ruin that for everyone is to start a rivalry or flame-war
I have more than enough sh*t in the real world to come online for more, and I think that is the way for most of us, so be gentle with your friends feelings, and hopefully thay will with yours (now how do I get down off this soapbox?

Rockindillo, I'm sure many folks have wrestled with that question since the return of the DMF and I'm not for one minute asking you to choose sides. There are other forums on the net that also cater to blues discussions most notably "Big Road Blues" which has many, many members and it's doing quite well also. There is plenty of room for all. Whatever you choose to decide, do your best to help that forum thrive. The blues needs all the help it can get.

The good thing about the different forums on the net is that they each have a different focus. While they are open to any blues-related discussion, the DMF has a pre-war focus, BRB is largely a players forum with an emphasis on slide guitar and this place right here is developing a focus on post-war blues. There's room for everyone and which forum I'll post a topic on depenbds on which forum is most likely to give me a good answer.

Great post, Lannis. While I may appear to be turning my back to the DMF, that is simply due to time constraints. I have all respect for F&G, and the great job they've done in the past 14 months or so.

I just don't have enough time to keep up HERE, let alone there....and while I do wish the very best to the DMF (and I will pop in on occasion) I simply can't turn my back on the fine community that has been established here.

With all that said, BISCUIT, I don't think it's appropriate for you to term this a 2nd-place/2nd rate/or whatever, forum. I don't believe that one person here would say that of the DMF, and I would expect the same consideration here. (The ONLY thing the BBF is second in is chronology).

Congrats again to F&G for getting the DMF up and running, again. And best wishes for an awesome future!

Never put off til tomorrow what you can do the day after.

Since Biscuit was kind enough to post an invitation here at Blindman's to visit the DMF, I thought I'd reciprocate over there. I posted an invitation in the Devil's Music "Promotion" forum to DMF members to come visit Blindman's.

Interesting---it seems to have been removed.

Does that mean we are a more tolerant group here at Blindman's than the DMF appears to be since Biscuit's invitation here is still posted?

Well, Frankie explains herself here:

http://www.thedevilsmusic.net/forum/index....t=0&#entry36193

Apparently, we ARE more tolerant here, and also apparently, she does not understand that.

The word BISCUIT comes from the french, meaning twice cooked.

I don't know where they originated, but I do know where they applied to my condition during a period in my life between 1967 & 1972.......

I don't know how to do that quote thing either....

Meandering a bit, it took me a while to work out that 'biscuit' means something different in US English than in British English. For us, it is our word for cookie, so I'd found biscuit references in songs a bit weird, plus the whole King Biscuit thing was a head scratcher. Talk about two countries separated by a common language.
