Tim at radio.speljamr put it quite nicely, and I quote from his site: The Association of Music Podcasting is pleased to announce the grand re-opening of the AMP Music Library. The AMP Music Library is a collection of podsafe music that members of AMP use [...]

I’ve struggled for several months, now, with a good logo for The Roadhouse. I’ve actually gone through four or five, but haven’t been too happy with any of them (short of the sax logo from Bruce at PodcastBunker). What I’d really like is to have a logo that I can stick with for the long-term. [...]

After nine days away from home, we’re back in the Little Blue House on the Wetlands. There’s nothing that will clear your head quite like a few days in the fresh air and sunshine of northern Colorado. In my absence, the process of acquiring new music for The Roadhouse rolled on. I got several new [...]

The Roadhouse 027 is available for download from the above image link. The second phantom podcast – vacation, week 2. That won’t stop the music, though, with Roomful of Blues, BlueShot, Tinsley Ellis, Mike Dugan,and Harrison Kennedy. While the vacation rolls on, you get the finest blues you’ve never heard.

I pulled a nice email from my cell phone yesterday, in the parking lot of the Crazy Horse Memorial. It was from Richard Rosenblatt, Founder and President of Tone-Cool Records. In that email, he was kind enough to grant permissions to play his artists in The Roadhouse. Thanks, Richard.

The 25th Roadhouse is sitting patiently on the server, awaiting only it’s addition to the feed. I’ll do that on Saturday, as regularly scheduled. This show started as nearly 50 discrete little pieces that all had to be sequenced and stitched together in some logical order. I’ve spent most of my evenings this week doing [...]

I’ve finally managed to migrate all the shows (including this week’s show) to Libsyn. After just a week on the service, I can heartily state that these guys are doing it right. The bandwidth is great. The reporting is outstanding. And, they seem to be very good to work with. All in all, it’s just [...]

After posting show 23 last week, I realized I’d made one of those silly mistakes that will happen from time to time. After the great cut Handle With Care from the Alligator CD Nine Lives by Little Charlie and the Nightcats, I went into a somewhat long explanation of the different types of harmonica you [...]
