HOLY COW! TWO YEARS!!!!!!!

This caught me by surprise, but today is the second anniversary of the Blues Historian website! It almost slipped right by me! YIKES! I just want to say thanks to the hundreds of blues fans who stop by here on a daily basis. The growth of this blog has been amazing and I am humbled by all of the support!

The blog started off as a way to teach blues history to my college students, but now it is more a blues news gathering site. I always hope that once the school year is over I can devote more time to posting videos, and more original content. Yet, once summer starts it is summer school! It never ends:-)

Thanks for sticking with me, and if you are new please stay around! Let have another great year and thanks for stopping by!

Thank You!!

This week we passed a new milestone. We hit the 2,000 hits a month average, and just under 4,000 page visits. This is amazing considering when I started I was only planning on a few hits a day. Yesterday was a record day, thanks to the Taylor Hicks fan club. I guess they posted a link to the video with Keb Mo on a couple of their message boards, and boy did we get swamped. We received 229 hits, and 306 page views! I do know that a major league blog probably gets five times that an hour, then I do in a day, but to me this is very cool!

Also I want to thank all of the blues websites, and blogs that have posted links to the blog. You are what really makes this site run. The majority of the people who come here, are coming from your sites. I appreciate your help, and if anyone wants to link to my blog, I will add your link to my site.

As always, if you have a show, festival, video, or a new CD that you want promoted, or reviewed, then send it here to the Blues Historian, and I will get it up on the site ASAP.


Thanks!!!!!!!!!
