Comments:Hi, Ian! This is your friend from Argentina.
First, thanks for all your support to me and my music.

Second, I have a very good new: I'm making a micro radio program for the Web, and the first Chapter is about Big Bill Broonzy. If you like, I could make a lin for your page www.broonzy.com , for all English speaken fans. If you authorize me, I could translate some paragraphs to Spanish.

My Prog: www.thebluesworkshop.biz

Thanks for all

Comments:My compliments for your website, but I have to say I'm quite surprised that there is nothing in it about me or my mother.
Being the son of Big Bill that feels like a slap in the face.
I hope you understand.

Comments:Key to the Highway! It ranks up there with Stairway to Heaven or Hotel California. Really. What a great song, but only one among others in Big Bill's incredible repertoire. By the way, you just gave me the answer to a question I've asking for years ; It's a Gibson Style O. Thanks for putting up this website. Great work!

Comments:My father remembers watching Bill Broonzy playing Liverpool in the fifties and remembers a big man entering the room with a corn whisky jar sitting down on a normal chair just him and his guitar an delivering an awesome performance.
At the time my dad had kept company with a lot of jazz musicians so blues was nor readily available in Liverpool

Comments:Hey Ian,
It was great meeting you today at the blues jam at the Freakin' Frog! I looked up the Broonzy site, and of course I recognized it immediately! I've been there many times!
I have been working on a series of paintings of legendary blues artists and Big Bill is right on top of my list (I'm working on one now...of young Broonzy and have one in my mind of an older version). I'll let you know when I finish the one I'm working on. I didn't ask, do you live in Vegas?
Talk to you later,
Sundae

Comments:Hello,

First of all thanks for the site I have just discovered. Good to know that people care of such artist as Big Bill Broonzy.

I love his guitar playing and look to learn from his songs. I look for the tablatures of The Glory of Love and Bill Bayley. For The Glory of Love I found some tabatures on the web but they do not correspond to the smithonian recording.

Can you help me ?

Best regards.

Comments:Hello Ian!
Here I am again (your friend from Buenos Aires). I've made a link from my page, www.thebluesworkshop.biz to yours (broonzy.com). As I also have a web radio program (a micro one -10 minutes-, not so extended as BITS) about the Blues and it stories, in one emision I spoke about Big Bill. In the Blues Workshop, I recommend your site. Please check it: I send your username: class , and your password: a1863 . I'd like to copy the Big Bill photo you have in the homepage (could it be possible?). Thanks for all. In the begining of August, my album will be ready ( "enfin!!!!!"), and I could be able to send the copy I promised you).

Comments:GREAT to see a site devoted to such incredible talent.

I was disapointed in one respect. I have been trying to find a CD of the GREAT album - "Big Bill Broonzy, FEELIN' LOW DOWN" Best selection of classics and rags I've found. Part of the old 'Black Blues' Series, 1973, GNP Crescendo Record Co.

Thanks for the homage to Big Bill--a favorite of mine for over forty years. The concert with Pete Seeger was my intro to Big Bill and I continue to listen to him.

Comments:I don't know how you'd contact the Broonzy estate, but it seems he has royalties due to him via Sound Exchange (which tracks digital radio play). His estate is in danger of losing 5 years of royalties if they do not sign up (it's free) with www.soundexchange.com

Hope somebody can help; he deserves his money!

I'm sure you've already heard about him, but if you haven't, please check up on my favourite bluesman Howlin' Wolf. He is a bad motherfucker.
Keep up the spirit.
