Blues Pinoy

That's right ladies and gentlemen, TomCat's got a new site up, and this time he's expanding the horizon a bit, covering Blues happenings in Philippines and the whole of Asia. Summarizing the concept and goal of this project, Tom states, "Blues Asia aims to draw the Asian blues community – musicians and fans – closer together. We’ll search out where to find each other. We’ll chat in our forum, We’ll share our recommendations about the best blues tutorials on the internet." Visiting the the site for the first time, one could see an unassuming front page - the only image is that of Binky Lampano with his signature "grimace" and a lone video of the vintage JDLC. But don't let this look fool you! The site certainly packs a wallop with a host of features including a blog, tutorials (Blues harp) and most impressive is a Blues forum where members could interact with one another. One could only conclude that TomCat indeed has big plans for the site a...

Been tinkering with the site lately. Significant changes include a new template, the addition of an online radio and a Blues news feed, rearranging some of the parts, the fonts, colors, and etc. Comments and suggestions are welcome, Blues brothers! You may sign the guestbook too.

Great news for all Lampano Alley fans all over the world! The best Pinoy Blues band has a newly built website where everyone can get the latest news and updates. Included are the band's history, personal info of the members, picture gallery, and several videos of their live performances. Missing though are the "Concert In The Park" clips. Maybe they'll be uploading them soon :-) Click the image above to access the website!

I was studying how to play the blues harp when I came across http://prewarblues.org/ years ago. As the site's title suggests, it contains very rare and old songs. Mp3's are available for downloading so you might want to check this site out.

Hello, Blues brothers and sisters! Just some info - I've added some cool LINKS to my blog namely TomCat's BluesAsiaNetwork, NU107fm Live where you can listen to NU's trademark music and watch how the jocks do their thing inside (and outside) their cozy studio, Old School Rock Videos where you could appreciate how closely related Blues really is to this genre (direct lineage). Last but not the least, a link to CNN International in High Definition (you wanna catch the latest news, right?) So that's it! Check out the links - I'm sure you'll gonna love them!
