I don't mean to butt in on the conversation, but new member checking in.  I have been a blues lover/player for over 35 years and I look forward to meeting ya'll and learning what more I can.  Looks like a lot of knowledge here on my favorite music.

Welcome Pic!

Slack,

Thanks a million!  I have been browsing through some of the different forums and am simply amazed at what I have been reading!  I am a big fan of the Reverend Gary Davis and have already learned a lot more about him and his playing than I thought possible in such a short time.  What a resource.  Hopefully I can contribute in my own small way to the knowledge contained on these forums.  I feel like I've come home...

All for now.

Howdy!

I have been lurking for a while now and thought it was time to register.

I have just recently gotten into pre-war music (after listening to every other genre on the planet) and, as far as blues goes, I especially seem to enjoy Piedmont performers. "Songsters" as well, assuming a songster is someone who accompanies himself/herself on an instrument and sings a song that is not the blues or that is pre-blues in origin.

I'm still pretty new to this stuff, but I'm caught in its rut and learning fast. I'm sure I'll learn even more from you guys.

Now, let's whip that thing a long time.

Hello Everyone,

New member here. Love country/delta blues (pre-war acoustic blues in any form) and am glad to have found this forum. Good to see people keeping it alive and well. I play guitar, acoustic fingerstyle blues, like most people here I'd imagine. I love Robert Johnson, Charley Patton, Skip James, Robert Wilkiins and John Hurt most of all. Can't forget Rev. Gary and Furry too. Huge fan of Grossman and John Fahey as well.

thanks. see you on the boards.

Hey I must have missed this thread, but I'm relatively new as well. I've been here for just over a month and I love this site. Like all of you I love country blues and have since my late teens. My favorites are Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, Mississippi John Hurt, Big Bill Broonzy, Clifford Gibson and many more. I also love people like Doc Watson, Norman Blake, Mike Seeger, Ry Cooder, Martin Carthy, Richard Thompson, Paul Geremia, Mary Flower, Ari Eisinger and of course John Miller!! I guess I could go on and on. I have been playing guitar since I was nine and usually play an hour or more a day. Thanks for allowing to be a part of this great family. This summer I will be attending Country Blues week in Port Townsend, I'm hoping to be able to meet and play music with a lot of you guys!!!
