Links for 1st November, 2007
I'm going to start posting links to websites and/or articles and/or stuff that evoked a response out of me.
Found this yesterday.

The best of American folklore films
I was looking for footage of Othar Turner and stumbled onto this seemingly wonderful website.
Now deceased, I've only seen Othar Turner perform once. I was lucky I actually saw the man play, since that might be the best musical/spiritual experience I've had and was one of his last. It was indescribable.
There is always something that connects the dots and in terms of rock and roll, a lot of it did come from the blues. If you think about where punk, etc came from, a lot of it came from rock and roll. With wonderful and free databases such as the above website, youtube.com and amazon.com aplenty, there is a whole legacy of dots that are waiting to be connected, by you.
