Hey all. My Name is Cub and I am from Connecticut USA. i Just found this website looking for Dixon Brothers lyrics. Cant believe I never found it sooner.  I spent all my downtime at work today reading the forums.  So glad a community like this exists for county blues lovers and so glad to be a part of it.  Here are a couple songs I've recorded with my pinecone camera. the first is Henry Thomas's "Old County Stomp" and the second is Alan Wilson's "Sloppy Drunk"

Yowza! Welcome to Weenie, Cub. I went to your YouTube collection and watched one vid: the Knoxville Rag duet with a fiddler. Nice!

Save your pennies and come out to the Left Coast for the Port Townsend workshop, you'll be surrounded by kindred spirits who love country blues and old-timey and ragtime ... the good stuff.

Thank you Slack, Lindy, and Parlor Picker! Port Townsend sounds great. Maybe one year I will get to make it out there.  Is there an East Coast equivalent?  I went to the Harry Smith Frolic for my first time last year in Massachusetts. Met a lot of blues pickers and now impatiently waiting to go back this year.

Hello all! I have been following the Weenie Campbell forum for several years after reading John Millers comments about it. I had played guitar since I was a kid, but stumbled across RGD and Blind Blake more recently and have been happily lost in pre WWII Blues ever since. I have read and studied a fair amount but nowhere have I discovered more than on this site. I have not noticed many weenies (none?) in the Dakotas, but maybe there are a few that haven?t posted yet. I am looking to get the word out about a weekend guitar event in SW Minnesota this fall, but do not want to violate any rules regarding advertisement. Can someone advise me whether or not it is acceptable to encourage members to check out an guitar event website on this site and if so, where? I am a novice at such things. In any event, thank you for all you do here to inform, entertain and inspire.

Hi Scott,
Welcome to Weenie Campbell!  It's perfectly fine to post about the workshop in Minnesota, and the board called Saturday Night Fish Fry is the place to do it.  Feel free to give all of the pertinent information.
All best,
Johnm

Hello Everyone
I found this site researching resonator guitars. I've spent a good chunk of the morning reading the site then I decided I might as well join. I love folk, roots music and blues. Thanks for having me.

Hello, All!

I’m from Central Illinois, and I stumbled on this site a while back while doing a search on information concerning the lost Willie Brown sides, or any other great discoveries.  They still do turn up, apparently! I’ve been an acoustic blues enthusiast, both as a guitar player and as a “armchair musicologist,” since high school, and that would be about 40 years. I think that was before anyone knew what Robert Johnson looked like!  It’s amazing how much has been uncovered and learned in that time.  I look forward to combing through the WC archives and catching all the latest.
