Use the search field up at the top, and use the drop-down menu next to it to select Playlists. If you type "blues" in the search field, you'll come up with hundreds of playlists with "blues" in the title. Click on any of them to see the videos on the playlist. Or you can type in the name of a performer and get a list of playlists containing videos of that performer. And if you click on a video, to the right there'll be a list of "Related playlists," which will most likely contain more videos by the same performer. You can compile your own playlists by adding videos to your "Favorites" (you have to register to do this). You can make your playlists public, in which case they'll show up in a search, or private. The playlists are often idiosyncratic, so you still have to wade through a certain amount of stuff that isn't relevant, but the playlist categories really narrow down the field. On the other hand, the idiosyncrasies can involve treasures you wouldn't have thought to go looking for. The Blues playlists have a lot of really classic stuff. Here's Son House playing "Death Letter Blues"-- http://youtube.com/watch?v=enMcysS5ZYY&search= Big Bill Broonzy-- http://youtube.com/watch?v=JIp7lnDOJ6g T-Bone Walker, "Call Me When You Need Me"-- http://youtube.com/watch?v=DWbB0Ei5r3U Muddy Waters, "Got My Mojo Working," accompanied by Sonny Boy-- http://youtube.com/watch?v=Dlt9zRC6rnk Lightnin' Hopkins, "Goin' Down Slow"-- http://youtube.com/watch?v=723V2FFs82Y And so on. I took these more or less at random from one playlist of somebody calling himself jledbetter. Here's the URL of his playlist of over 100 videos, mostly blues: http://youtube.com/profile_videos?user=jledbetter Then there are also Groups, which I haven't even explored yet; there's 32 Groups under the Blues heading. Bhairitu's probably right, this incredible bounty isn't likely to last long, alas. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Everything you need is one click away.
