How do they pick the artists that are on these sites? Cause I couldn't find one musician I'd heard of on the Smithsonian website. Oh wait, Woody Guthrie is on there. Okay one artist I'm vaguely familiar with. I listened to House of the Rising Sun and I have to say I think The Animals did it better.
I turned the volume up completely but still had to press my ear to the speaker on my LCD screen to hear. Apart from that, the quality and ease of use was good. I'll have to try this from my home computer and see if that doesn't fix the volume issue. I guess these websites are a safe alternative for the library to invest in, as we don't allow our patrons to download music.
I don't think most of my family has the technical savvy to start listening to music on the net. My dad hasn't figured out mp3 players yet and still uses a cassette Walkman. But then he also refers to my brother's Blackberry as a raspberry. My honest assessment is I would listen to music this way if I could find a site that catered to my sophisticated taste in music.

A fascists-killin' machine, huh?!?
OK, yah, but will you REALLY go home and try listening to this archaic music that doesn't in the LEAST appeal to your "sophisticated taste in music"? Hmmmmm?
That's funny stuff about your family's lack of tech-savy-ness(is that a word?).
All in all, good job jpanther!!!!
Bravo!!!!!!!!!!
Woody Guthrie is a pimp yo! This Land is Your Land should be our national anthem.
Thank you MJ! Once again my BBFF is the only one to appreciate my so called humor. I feel all these exercises were worth it if only because of the fun we've had with it. :}
I tried to tell her not to mess with an American icon.
Thanks guys now I'm humming..... from California to the New York Island.
I agree with you on the available archaic songs. While you were looking did you see Arlo Guthrie? I only ask because I just saw "Alice's Restaurant" the other week. BTW - it's been fun to read your blogs and the accompanying commentaries.
