If you’ve been waiting to help Really the Blues, now’s the time.
Willie Dixon
Really the Blues’ sponsor, Jazz on the Tube, needs a little help from some friends…Between hosting, email management, research and editorial work, clerical tasks, programming, and customer service, our monthly expenses amount to $600, or nearly $7,200 per year.
We can’t do what we do without your help. THANKS!
If you’re getting a message on the video that says “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” this is something that YouTube implemented a couple of months ago. It has nothing to do with Really the Blues. We would never force you to sign in to watch a video! The way around this is to empty the cache on your browser or use a new browser.
