A Cell Phone Number Directory Site- A Web Site That Allows Reverse Cell Phone Lookups

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Cell Phones are both a convenience and a hindrance in our lives. Most all of us carries a cellular phone around all of the time - but often we are so ‘available’ to everyone our productivity suffers. Privacy can suffer, too - with the easy access to cell phones, anyone can call you at any time.

So what do you do when you must to find out the owner of a number that is calling you? The traditional phone book is not relevant any more - what you need is some kind of cell phone number directory site.

Very few numbers are published today than at any time - there are so many cell providers with thousands of numbers, there is not one source where you can look up a number or do a reverse search if required.

It is best to choose services that are honest about their fees up front. The good news is that those fees are generally very reasonable for the extent of service you receive. Don’t forget to use the full number, including the area code when you make your first search for cell phone numbers on the web - the service won’t work if you don’t have the area code. The same number can exist in many different areas, with just the area code different. You must have the area code to perform your search.

The best bet is to locate web sites that disclose their fees up front and provide some kind of guarantee. That way you will get your money back if the service does not provide you the information that you need. Finding cell phone numbers on the web does not have to be a chore - just sign into one of these new websites and find the information you seek.

Roots, Rock ‘n Blues - American Roots Music

Monday, July 13th, 2009

I fell in love with American roots music while I was in college in the late 1960s. The irony of that is that I was born and grew up in the Washington, DC area and had to move to Minnesota to hear the blues for the first time!

I should say that it was in college that I first heard the blues played by the original artists. I’d been a big fan of the Rolling Stones and numerous other British Invasion groups who were all playing their versions of the blues, or derivatives thereof. I just had no idea at the time that they’d been so heavily influenced by a whole generation of musicians that I’d never heard of.

In the meantime, there were American musicians playing blues and blues-influenced rock to small, but devoted audiences. Three of my favorites (discovered for the most part years later) were Lonnie Mack, Albert Collins and Roy Buchanan. Lonnie Mack is best known for his radio hits, but is a killer blues player as I discovered much to my surprise when Alligator Records put out a video of a concert with Lonnie, Albert and Roy at Carnegie Hall in New York City from the early 1990s. The concert was called “Further On Down The Road” and was a real eye-opener for me when I first saw it. It’s still one of my favorite videos.

With the explosion of videos on the Internet, there is a wealth of blues video footage from the 1950s through today. It’s a blessing that so much still survives from the early days. Watching some of these legends perform helps make it clear just why they are legendary.
