================================================================================
----------== THE ORIGINAL BLUES /\/\AILING LIST --- AN INTRODUCTION ==----------
================================================================================

     After years of wishing a Blues mailing list would materialize, I've
finally decided to take it upon myself.  I welcome all the blues lovers to join
the list.  The list is working out quite nicely and I believe that it will
continue to do so!

     This list will cover ALL BLUES AND BLUES RELATED TOPICS.  This leaves a 
very wide margin of subject material to be sure.  I would like people to keep 
track of blues type concerts and shows in their area and post those dates too.  
We can have a sort of "Blues Concert Update" that way, and everyone can kind of 
know who is touring.  Feel free to post concert reviews, reviews of tapes, 
records, CDs, live stuff, anything!  Also post questions, answers, and anything 
else you can think of, I won't mind, really.

     Next is an example list of blues related groups to show the diversity of 
this list.  Some of these are pure blues, some have a few bluesy songs.  If you
have some to add to this list, send 'em in.  (Yes, I know this is just the tip 
of the iceberg...)
