Have you seen this interview with Gerhard Kubik on Africa and the Blues. It’s very interesting. http://www.afropop.org/multi/interview/ID/112/

Also, I used to download the music to listen to later while commuting, but now when I try to save it, I get a .php file. Is this a new feature of the site, and does it mean I will only be able to listen to this wonderful music while at home?

Otherwise, it’s a creative and interesting site re-design.

I was testing something out with the php thing, it should be back to normal now.

As the daughter of Frank Melrose, I am thrilled with his music that has been surfacing lately. My favorie CDs are, “Jelly Roll Stomp”, producer Hal Smith, and “Bluisiana” by Delmark Records. They show the versatility, and genius of my Dad at the piano.
Also, a CD by Ray Skjelbred,pianist, “Pass The Jug” , featuring some of my fathers tunes. My sincerest thanks to all of you for keeping his memory alive,
