Hi all,
I entered a first page under the category of Harmonica under Musicianship in Weeniepedia: Great Solo Harmonica Performances. I'm glad to have harmonica recognized there now.
All best,
John

Hi all,
I added a fiddle blues page to Weeniepedia under musicianship.
All best,

Hi all,
Yesterday and today I entered a new page on the Guitar page in Musicianship in Weeniepedia. It's kind of a big one, called "Guitar Accompanists". I had been thinking for some time about how we've had for several years now a page, "Piano Accompanists" on the Piano page in Weeniepedia, and thought we should have an analogous one on the Guitar page. It ended up being a very time-consuming operation, but it's up now for your perusal. I decided to enter only song performances in which the guitarist was accompanying a non-playing singer, because I think in that context the guitar is filling a different, and bigger responsibility than in duo performances of more or less long standing, like Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell, or Big Maceo and Tampa Red. Similarly, I see Joe McCoy accompanying Alec Johnson, a non-player, as being very different than Joe's work with Memphis Minnie.
I'm curious, do any of you ever go to Weeniepedia, look things up, or get information there? I'd appreciate it if some of those of you who do use it from time to time could indicate so here. Thanks.
All best,
Johnm

Wow, that is indeed a lot of work, John. I use Weeniepedia pretty regularly. It's a great resource, and I really appreciate the folks who contribute so much to it. Thanks.

I'm a regular visitor, 2-3 times per week.
Just before Covid I was hosting a monthly country blues jam at a local bookstore. Prepping songs for each session got a boost from the lyrics and playing positions info on Weeniepedia.
After Covid shut down that jam session, I started doing some regular stuff on zoom with a few friends. I try to prep at least one new song per session, and I visit weeniepedia regularly to support my tin ear and need for lyrics.
It's a treasure, thanks to those of you who have been or continue to be regular contributors and organizers.
Lindy
