Thread Name: Free downloadable folk and blues mp3s
Subject: Free downloadable folk and blues mp3s
Stumbled on this blog Merlin in Rags recently, written by a Belgian since October 2007 with links to collections
of mp3s compiled from his record library. No doubt distributing mp3s this way raises questions of ethics, but there it is.
The blogger writes:"Remember, these are just some goodies for listening purpose. If you like it, buy it." That's just what
many of us do (and some argue that free mp3 distribution increases record sales) but I'm sure there are lots of freeloaders.
There's some pretty wonderful stuff here -- much of it old and out of prnt. Check the "Labels" column for a list of all the musicians.

The same person has started another blog McLuhan's Garden just recently, writing: "This new blog will be about a little bit
of everything. Out of print, from the bin at the back of the store, found at auctions, dug up from the dark, dusty corners
of my collection, hopefully preserved for posterity."
