If that were not so we would all be buying wax cylinders and placing our ears close to a huge ear horn. My, but we are not in Kansas anymore Dorothy...... I remember when someone told me to buy a four track tape player for my car which I did. Soon afterward the same guy told me to buy a new eight track deck. Of course that led to a cassette player in my car which of course evolved into a CD player. So things change and this pandemic situation is definitely horrible but through its effects on society it is breeding a new normal for artists. Some of you may already be learning about this new live streaming "stuff". This is a new income opportunity that is picking up speed due to COVID and millions of people having ample free time on their hands. In the near future most major artists will perform at large live events and anyone that could not attend in person will be able to purchase a ticket online and log on from anywhere in the world. Imagine this: if an arena can hold 60,000 people what if the internet could double that attendance? Pretty cool if you are receiving major bookings but what about live streaming on a smaller scale? Actually that’s pretty cool too. Recording studios see the future and live streaming from an acoustically cool environment is becoming the new wave of change for aspiring artists. One studio owner told me that his first client held a live stream from his studio and brought in $1,500 in tips. A listening room owner told me that some of the artists performing there without an audience but with playing into a three camera shoot have reported generating up to $2,400. The internet is powerful and live streaming is a component of the new normal. Some of you may only want to do one show to see what it's like while others may already be looking to generate weekly or monthly shows. If so then a streaming studio may well be in your future. Right now if you have down time this could be your time to learn. If so then also be sure to check out Stage It online. There you can see who’s streaming shows each week. My hunch is that you may know a number of the artists already using Stage It to get the word out. Beyond live streaming many of you have thought about licensing your music but have not had the time to look into this 5 income opportunity. Licensing is a good thing. It's another resource of income. Check out the online Stage it service that makes it easy to understand and get started, take a look at Barry Coffing’s Music Supervisors. They present a straight forward easy to understand set of instructions and explain how to get started at no cost. Moving on. Another good thing that is happening right now - established artists are getting their merchandise line in place for 2021. Obviously they are placing their orders for 2021 Tee’s and some finally have the time to take a closer look at companies like National Pen. These people imprint on more items than just pens and yes, you can afford these smaller items. Merchandise tables need a price range to match the wallets of everyone that stops by and to not just offer Tee's and CDs. As an example they may want a Tee perhaps and an imprinted bottle opener that sells for less. The bottom line is that you are in this business the same as I am. We’ve got both feet in and we're not turning back now. Damn the pandemic! Full speed ahead..... Houston Texas The BiTS CHRISTMAS COMPETITION Austin Chicago Clarkesdale Houston Jackson KansasCity Madison Memphis NewOrleans NewYork There was a significant number of correct answers to the BiTS Christmas Competition received, so a draw was held. The winner was Tracey Knight of Basingstoke. The runners up were, Brian Cope of Bexhill-on-Sea and Nigel Buckfield of Southampton. The prizewinners have been notified and will receive their bundles of CDs as soon as possible after Christmas. Sincere Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all for participating! 7 THE BiTS INTERVIEW: Dustin Arbuckle BiTS: Tell me something about your upbringing. Were you raised in a home with a lot of music? DA: Well, I grew up in the Wichita, Kansas area; honestly. It was not in a terribly musical household. My dad had been a musician when he was younger. He was a drummer, but I never actually saw my father touch a drum kit. He loved music and loved blues and classic rock and jazz and things like that, so I have vague memories of hearing some of that music when I was young. I talk about it a lot that my first musical memory was riding in the truck with my dad when I was probably about three years old, and he was singing the old Leadbelly tune, ‘Gallis Pole’. Which of course is the much older traditional tune, but I mean Leadbelly really pretty heavily popularised it in the twentieth century, and that was the version that Led Zeppelin covered and all that stuff. I think my parents listened to music and I remember hearing a lot of country music, old country music in the truck with my grandfather on my mum's side and things like that, and I loved to sing as far back as I can remember, but it wasn't as though I had a bunch of other musicians in the household. I think I probably was fairly average from the perspective of just hearing the music around me. It happened that I stumbled on to the music that made me want to play music when I was in my teenage years. BiTS: When did you first start to play an instrument? Would that be at school? DA: Yeah, my first instrument was trumpet in the school band. I guess I would have been about ten or eleven years old and I didn't stick with that for very long, honestly. I was in the band for about three years and it never really lit me up. It was never something that I had an easy time committing myself to. But I did love to sing and after I quit band, I joined the school choir and that was always something that I liked more, but after I started hearing blues and becoming conscious of what that music really was when I was about 15, that's when I started really wanting to play music and maybe start a band. When I was 16, I picked up the harmonica, and that's been obviously my main instrument ever since. BiTS: Have you ever played any other instrument? Do you play guitar at all? DA: I play a little bit of bass.

    December 2011 Kilborn Alley Blues Band CD Release Party By Rich Cibelli What do you get when you cross one of the hottest local blues bands around just home from a great tour of Europe and a cold late November Tuesday night at The Iron Post in Urbana? Answer -- The Kilborn Alley Blues Band “Four” CD release party. The band, which actually returned the morning of the show, showed some signs of jet lag. But that didn’t stop them from putting on one of the best performances that this writer has seen. Blues fans, that is dedication from the heart -- a plain and simple fact. There is no way to teach this. You either have it or not. The Kilborn Alley Blues Band has it. Period! Andrew Duncanson and Abraham Johnson Courtesy Zack Widup Before I continue I’d like to take a minute and give a great big thank you to Paul Wirth and all the staff at the Iron Post for helping put on this event and for their continued support of live music in Champaign-Urbana. Most of all, a great thank you to the many fans who braved a cold Tuesday night to come see one of our own. I may have mentioned this in an earlier story, but for those of you new to the Prairie Crossroads Blues Society, The Kilborn Alley Blues Band was the first band to join our organization back almost a year and a half ago. Just like this event they took time from their show to thank us for the bond that we have.

  • Bob Corritore Bio
    Bob Corritore Bio Bob Corritore is one of the most active and highly regarded blues harmonica players on the scene today. His style passionately carries forward the old school of playing that Corritore learned as a young man directly from many of original pioneers of Chicago Blues. His sympathetic, yet fiery harmonica playing is featured on over 25 releases to date, on labels such as HighTone, HMG, Blue Witch, Blind Pig, Earwig, Putumayo, Random Chance, and the VizzTone Label Group. Many of these acclaimed releases have been nominated for various Handy, Grammy, and Blues Music Awards. Bob is also widely recognized for his many roles in the blues, as band leader, club owner, record producer, radio show host, arts foundation founder, and occasional writer. His amazing website www.bobcorritore.com and his weekly e-newsletter reflect a life thoroughly invested in the blues. Born on September 27, 1956 in Chicago, Bob first heard Muddy Waters on the radio at age 12, an event which changed his life forever. Within a year, he was playing harmonica and collecting blues albums. He would see blues shows in his early teens, including attending a Muddy Waters performance at his high school gymnasium. He would cut his teeth sitting in with John Henry Davis on Maxwell Street until he was old enough to sneak into blues clubs. He hung around great harp players such as Big Walter Horton, Little Mack Simmons, Louis Myers, Junior Wells, Big John Wrencher, and Carey Bell, and received harmonica tips and encouragement from many of them. He would regularly see the Aces, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Billy Boy Arnold, John Brim, Sunnyland Slim, Smokey Smothers, Eddie Taylor, and in many cases became personal friends with these blues veterans.

  • Chicago Blues Guitar
    McKinley Morganfield (April 4, 1913 – April 30, 1983), known as Muddy WatersWaters, was an American blues musician, generally considered the Father of modern Chicago blues. Blues musicians Big Bill Morganfield and Larry "Mud Morganfield" Williams are his sons. A major inspiration for the British blues explosion in the 1960s, Muddy was ranked #17 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Although in his later years Muddy usually said that he was born in Rolling Fork, Mississippi in 1915, he was actually born at Jug's Corner in neighboring Issaquena County, Mississippi in 1913. Recent research has uncovered documentation showing that in the 1930s and 1940s he reported his birth year as 1913 on both his marriage license and musicians' union card. A 1955 interview in the Chicago Defender is the earliest claim of 1915 as his year of birth, which he continued to use in interviews from that point onward. The 1920 census lists him as five years old as of March 6, 1920, suggesting that his birth year may have been 1914. The Social Security Death Index, relying on the Social Security card application submitted after his move to Chicago in the mid '40s, lists him as being born April 4, 1915. His grandmother Della Grant raised him after his mother died shortly after his birth. His fondness for playing in mud earned him the nickname "Muddy" at an early age. He then changed it to "Muddy Water" and finally "Muddy Waters". He started out on harmonica but by age seventeen he was playing the guitar at parties emulating two blues artists who were extremely popular in the south, Son House and Robert Johnson.
