Hi all,

I'm a 20 year old guitar player, song writer in Baltimore. I'd like to get feedback on my new song Lonely Blues, please take a listen!

Thanks for the website. I wasn't aware of such an organization. I'm definitely going to check out some of those events.

Did you listen to the song at all?

Hi David,

   Thanks for posting the myspace link. I could not get either song to play. I will put in a friend request and try again later.

Went back and got Lonely Blues to play. Good guitar riff to back the song.

Thank you. I know the singing is not the greatest, but I just recently got the hang of hitting notes at all when I sing. I'm working on it.

Is this the way it always is in Baltimore?

Joe, I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking is my music the Baltimore norm? If that is what you're asking, then no. The predominant music in Baltimore is rap, hip-hop, and big label rock. Same as most the country I imagine.

As for folk music, its scarce. I'm the only person that I know of that plays acoustic guitar and harmonica.

The phrase Joe F is referring to is from the song "These Dance Hall Girls" by Fraser and DeBolt. At the age of twenty, you probably would not be familiar with them, or the song. They are well worth looking up, however. If you do a thread search here, you will find them and the song as items for discussion.

Wow, awesome song. For anyone else that might be interested in hearing a recording of this song here is a link: Fraser, Debolt - Them Dance Hall Girls

I have a feeling this place is going to be a treasure trove of info... Very nice.

I have both their LP's from the '70's and they're awesome recordings. While you're checking out things, see Roy Harper's myspace page, I think you'll like the songs Another Day and Same Old Rock.
