Samuel Johnson is credited with having said, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." It had been my intentions to write something about the capabilities of the new Apple iPhone.
I think that the blues and high tech can mix well. One thing that will help to keep blues music alive is showing young people how cool it is to use their new shiny gadgets to enjoy good old music like the blues. The blues will continue to be revived for new mediums as they are created.
Consider YouTube and some of the other new video sharing websites that allow blues fans to enjoy content that was unthinkable in years past. The iPhone can be used to view your favorite blues videos on YouTube for example.
Cahl's Juke Joint, a blog that I have been reading forever has written about the Apple iPhone and how you can use it to listen to blues and jazz music. I like his post because it gave me ideas of how to use the iPhone to enjoy many of the music sites that I have been listening to for some while now.
For your reading pleasure please check out;
iPhone Music Applications, and iPhone Music part 2. Both these post give good info on how to use an iPhone to listen to music.
