Some of you may not even be aware that Max, our Beloved Founder, started the Mudcat Cafe as a blues site. Poor Max has been outnumbered by us folkies. Lately, he's taken to singing out of Rise Up Singing, and he's threatened to start singing Gordon Bok songs. His next step might be to run off and join the New Christy Minstrels. After that, he'll grow a beard and let his hair go grey and balding, and he'll wear bifocals and act like he's fifty. It's quite clear to me that poor Max is in a blues funk.

I can't bear to see this terrible thing happen to him, and I think it's our obligation to give him a dose of the blues. I found a great site today, the Blue Flame Cafe, which should give Max many happy hours (it's listed on our links page, and a search of our links page for blues will give lots more). Another is Harry's Blues Lyrics, and Vital's Blues Online.

Anybody else got blues links for poor Max?
