Make Note Of Updates On The Cosmic American

2011-12-02T12:34:00.002-05:00

Greetings music lovers everywhere. there are a few new additions to the page that regular & newer viewers (over 200 a day currently!) may not be aware of without us pointing them out.

If you don't want to have to check the page for updates just subscribe to updates via email on the left sidebar and when there is new content it will come to your inbox. The latest top 10 lists, new playlist adds, various music related foolishness, etc. Nothing new, no update!

You can access The Cosmic American Radio Facebook page also from the left sidebar. Come on over and friend us and see what is up over there. Different people post in different places plus everybody likes to monkey around on Facebook while at work, or bored, or bored at work.

You can access the Cosmic American Radio page from the very same left sidebar and click on a direct link to listen. Everybody has their own favorite methods and players but it makes it easy plus you can see what is being played on both feeds at the same time. And, there is music submission info over there as well for those that email me for it with regularity!?!

Lastly, if you are looking for something you heard on the station or any music related items at all visit the Cosmic General Store. Guess where the link is located? I try to keep it updated with the things that listeners are liking the most plus some other things that may be hard to find at your local Wal-Mart. Prices are cheap and the selection is unlimited plus if you are looking for something you heard here it is probably already selected for you over at The General Store.

As always thanks for listening and email any questions, requests, kudos, Nigerian Scams (Ok that was a joke) to cosmicamericanradio@gmail.com. Good music for people who know the difference.

Memphis Minnie

2011-11-29T11:52:00.004-05:00

Everybody knows Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" but not enough people know of Memphis Minnie who was responsible for the original "Levee". One of the early female guitar playing blues greats who paved the way toward electric blues and subsequently Muddy Waters and the rest of Chicago electric blues family. So here's to Memphis Minnie, Algiers, LA, and Memphis, TN. What would the English rock bands have become without the music of Missisippi, Tennessee, and Louisiana. Not much.

I remain thankful for...........
