- How 'bout calling it "alt.music.bluenote"? Sorta the rebel version...
-
- More seriously, I agree with you that rec.music.bluenote has a
- ridiculously high throughput -- too much to keep up with reasonably.
-
- I feel just as you do that my fave interest is lost in the masses --
- I love the blues, but it doesn't get much discussion as it's just
- swamped out. How about a blues group?
-
- The problem is, that I would subscribe to such a group IN ADDITION to
- rec.music.bluenote.
-
- Instead of just reading rec.music.bluenote, I'd also be reading
- alt.music.blues and alt.music.bluenote -- MORE stuff. It would only
- worsen the problem.
-
- Feel free to make the early group -- I will subscribe to it.
- Perhaps it will catch on, and perhaps it will become a rec. group
- as it matures.
