What did the Digitrad mainly consist of at the point when Max inherited it - prior to the forum being established and linked to it?

Was the Digitrad primarily 'blues' back then?

Wow.Yes there is a blues contingent here. Among the members are yours truly, Bobert, Roger in Baltimore, Amos, Max, Peter T, Gutbucketeer, poppagator, and numerous others. Most of the blues players on this forum are of the acoustic variety, as are most of the folk, celtic, old time, etc musicians in general.
Are you a player, singer, or a fan? All are welcome here!

If your interest is in guitar-centric rural southern blues of the 20th century, try this one:

Good place for guitar licks, lyrics (someone or other here can understand just about anybody, even some of Frank Stokes), and general chat.

There is quite a nice thread on slow blues going on.

I changed the thread title because "Folklore: Blues" didn't do justice to this topic of discussion. I guess I'd say that Mudcat is a folk music forum, and most of us would say that Blues is part of folk music - at least it is in the United States. I've heard Max and a number of other Mudcatters do some wonderful Blues performances.

Next question?

We do have a blues "museum" HERE which is updated when Max-he who owns the place and does it all, has time.

If you put "blues" in the title search block and use the drop down menu next to it to set it to "All" I am sure you will find a myriad of "true believers" though, as fp says, they may not be around here much anymore.

Max, though, does some incredible old blues songs and we have various members who are in blues bands or are blues players.

welcome to the Mudcat.

HeeHeeHee; I would say, according to it's founding doctines, yes; but it's mostly apostate now, with a few remaining true believers.
