Dallas/Fort Worth
Blues Scene Sampler Project
The goal of this project is a
simple one: to spread the news about the
exciting Dallas/Fort Worth
blues scene through digital
video. This is a non-profit
undertaking that will explore different avenues
of distribution to the general public
through web
streaming, DVDs, and other means.
Each artist or band allows filming of one performance of
an original
song. That video,
with website or other
contact information embedded, is then made available with
other similar videos to allow the
viewers to "sample" the Dallas/Fort Worth blues scene. The
emphasis will be on the performers and
their art, not on fancy video techniques. As more
performances are added to the library,
they will be listed here. As new avenues of distribution
are explored, they will be
listed here. Be sure to check back from time to time.
Artists participating to date include:
Aaron Burton, K.M. Williams, Christian Dozzler, Hash Brown, James
Hinkle, Paul Byrd, Texas Slim and the Love Machine
Joey Love, Holland K. Smith, Mike Morgan and the Crawl, Cheryl Arena,
Jim Suhler, Andrew "Jr. Boy" Jones,
Paul Harrington, Will "Smokey" Logg, Chris Ruest, Josh Alan, Wanda
King, Pat Boyack, Joe Jonas, and
counting!
I am now experimenting with streaming digital video clips on the
internet!
I recommend a DSL or Cable Modem connection due to file size and you
will
need a player with MP4 capability.
You can view the videos with dial-up, but it will take 10-15 minutes to
download each video.
Instructions
and
clips
I now have most of these videos available
at youtube.com. I think the youtube player is inferior to the
Quicktime
player, but it is another means of distribution and a popular
service. If you visit youtube, please rate and comment on these
videos!
