T.J. - having lived in Hampton NH for 5 years, I've seen you perform quite a few times in the seacoast area. I stumbled upon this website because, being a big fan and amatuer fingerpicker of Mississippi John Hurt's music, I searched google for the "pay day" guitar tab and this site popped up at the top of the google search list.

This is a great site and your education program is a great cause. Mississippi John would approve. If you're ever in Westfield NJ, I'll make you a pallet on my floor.

Blues Cruise...
Thank You for an Excellent Day on the waterfront on Portsmouth Sunday Sept 14th. Our band(The Yoots)certainly enjoyed the chance to play with such a talented group of musicians. The cruise in the evening was wonderful as well. The music was incredible.!!!!

Thanks Again, and we look forward to next year.!!

Keep up the good work, people. You guys are the best. I would like to see a blues musicians bulletin board on this website for seacoast blues musicians who are looking for others to play with. It would be a great resource. I am looking for other musicians to play with in the area who want to play BLUES. I got 'em! Thanks, Bill 603 659 6208

Visitors to this great Blues Bank Collective website may be interested to know that Bo Diddley, one of the founding fathers of rock & roll and the popularizer of the world-famous "Bo Diddley beat", has just launched his new website and online store. The site, which with typical idiosyncrasy he has named "Bo Bo Diddley's Turnup Root", is located at Turnup-Root.com
