Burlap and Blues, The Blues Blog

At Burlap and Blues we have some great resources available for you. One of these resources is our great panel of long time KOTB'ers. These guitar slingers can help you refine your tune for KOTB 2010. Our users have the ability to upload music to their profile. Check out our KOTB 2010 information.

Good luck guitareoke players!

Happy 2nd Anniversary BAB. It was 2 years ago today, that a few lonely blues players, recuperating from the loss of the KOTB forum got together and started Burlap and Blues.

75 members and 2 years later we have a pretty good community of blues players. BAB is different from a lot of musician forums. We strive to be a place to learn and not just be critical.

Thanks to all the members and visitors who make our forum fun!

(Yes even, Yoso!)

Two judges not associated with Burlap and Blues were given the tracks and asked to rate the tracks on Which tunes FOLLOWED the contest rules the best, Which tunes sounded the most natural considering the THEME of the contest and the OVERALL favorite.

Community voting was encouraged and we received a total of 12 community votes. The community votes were added up and the total number of points that the community votes totaled, were given to the judging panel.

(Have I confused you yet, I am just trying to create suspense)

So the third best track was track submitted by Bad Juju 888-2540

Every month I monitor the number and amount of music, photos, blogs read etc from the Burlap and Blues site. This Month (April 2009) we have had over 100 hours of music downloaded from our music database. This is an astronomical amount of music played! Thanks to our many contributors.
