nah, MTB changed the password, and there was a 7ate9 channel added, and he changed one to IRAQ, but i think the rest are safe now.
i think it would be safe for me to give you the password, so PM me. . .MTB can kick me off the site if he thinks i shouldn't have. . .i'll take it on the chin.

Originally posted by PhlabibitI put back Son House radio.

So Mike Stewart and Tom Hoskins, (Backwards Sam Firk and Fang, respectively) brought him back to Potomac Maryland and John lived another 5 years going on the festival circuit. I thought that was cool.

BTW, it seems if you do thumbs up on the present tunes it stays in that genre. I put in a lot of regular folk musicians outside the blues genre and thumbing up the ones I am hearing now, like Pink Anderson, is all in the country blues area. I think if you want to go out of the present genre you have to not give a thumbs up or down and it looks like it goes into a more random seek of people your general list.

Here's the kicker! It's Dave Mathews doing it! Now what? I don't want to thumb it up, and I don't want more DM coming on MY station... but It's a good version of a good song.
Please advise!

Originally posted by PhlabibitI am listening to sonhouse radio and the last three I did not thumb either way and it still came up with three country blues dudes, Ledbelly, Brownie Mcgee, and now Blind Boy Fuller. Wondering how many songs it plays in a genre without thumbs up or down till it starts on someone else on your individual list?
I'll read your post...
My problem sorted it's self out... towards the end of listening I realized Dave sounds like he's got a nose full of cashew nuts and thumbed it DOWN.

Well it seems by the 5th tune after ending thumbs ups, it shifts genre's. It put in one off the wall awful song which I thumbed down then it went to a name I put in my list, Richard Shindell, a local musician, buddy of John Gorka and he now lives in Argentina but sold songs to Joan Baez and others and has a few CD's. He is a great song writer.
Originally posted by PhlabibitIt's interesting to see what happens if you have just one artist and no thumbs up or down. It works well with George Gershwin - so far all the music has been pretty close to Gershwin. It doesn't work as well with The Tiger Lillies; most of the stuff isn't close at all in my opinion. There probably just isn't enough similar stuff.
Listen to my station now while it is young...

Well after a couple more unthumbs, I got Davy Graham, 'I can't help from crying sometimes' one of my favorite Graham cuts, from around 1962. Seminal Scotts guitarist who big time influenced Bert Jansch and John Renbourne who later formed Pentangle.

Originally posted by Ian68It seems the 'folk scare of the 60's' settled down to a core of people who follow folk music and there is still a folk circuit now and there are a lot of Canadian folk musicians popular here but people like Bert Jansch, June Tabor, the Boys of the Lough, Dick Gaughan, Dougie Maclean, John Renbourne still have pull here, they make the rounds of the states but of course you can kiss off seeing them in the Kennedy center. I like it better that way personally because the music IS so personable and idiosycratic only the ones who truly understand the genius in those people deserve to hear them.
