We believe that not all of the
good music is played on the radio, that there are unknown bands and
artists out there who are worthy of our adulation. Here are some places
we've found some new favorites:
It's About Music
Itsaboutmusic.com.
They pride themselves on offering the best music.
It's not about charts.
It's not about million sellers.It's about music. We've ordered all of
their free compilation CD's and were never disappointed.
The Internet
Underground Music Archive
Iuma.com,
is a website started by unknown artists looking to find an audience.
Using the site is
easy. Go to the home page, find a genre of music you like, and start
listening to new music. You can sample it in Real Audio and then pull the
MP3s when you find something you like. You can also visit Artist's IUMA
web site and interact with the artist through email and message boards. If
you've got work to do, we suggest you launch IUMA Radio and let your
favorite genre play in the background while you work.
MP3.com
We also really
like mp3.com
and have filled a good amount of our hard drive with free downloads from
this website. There are thousands of musicians represented here from the
obscure to the famous with their own pages and info.
The All Music Guide
The All Music Guide at
allmusic.com is an indispensable resource to all genre's of music. The
vast amount of information is broken down into logical and easy to search
areas: a true internet gem!
Musical Instruments
Elderly Instruments

Lansing Michigan is guitar heaven. A must visit store.
Liberty Resonator Guitars
Liberty Resonator Guitars are
awesome and so is Bill Blue, their maker. We own one. We know.
Taylor Guitars
We think Taylor Guitars are the best
acoustic instruments on the planet. If we had an unlimited budget, we'd own
one of each!
Musician's
Friend
We love the
Musician's Friend. Their site is more than a musical instrument store.
They have reviews of instruments and equipment that are invaluable in
making a selection. We also like the scratched and dented section where a
huge amount of items at very good prices are for sale.
Guitar Trader
If you play
Acoustic Guitars
like we do, then you might visit the Guitar trader website. They have a
review section that includes tutorials and tips to make you sound like a
pro.
Music 123
music123.com

spans four generations. There are now over 125,000 products available on
the site. The depth of product information is unequaled, and new products
and services are featured daily.

chords or tablature and send them to the archive or to the newsgroups

Richard Hefner's folk musicians paradise.

this for years. They want you to continue shopping with them and expect to
recoup their losses that way.

directly from the musicians. No distributors. Musicians send them CDs.

for is in the "hard to find" category,

out the prices of the sale items at

Sony Music Direct
It pays to visit
the
hot
picks at Sony Music Direct. The premise of this site is that Sony deep
discounts a portion of their catalog and then sells it on this ever
changing website. Good deals on box sets are found here on a regular
basis,
