 Another year is over. And it is time to compile the best of the Music that was featured on AI over the last twelve months. My output last year was low due to myriad personal reasons. But starting this year that might change for the better – I am going to be joined by a [...] |  “What else should I be, All apologies…” For suddenly doing the disappearing act on AI. Fact is, a momentous event took place in the interim – the birth of my son! And I can see all of you who have gone through above-mentioned trauma nodding your heads quietly in sympathy! Nah, who am I kidding! [...] |  If you have been following AI, you may have come across the ‘Rock Roundup I’ post (here). Then you will probably know that this roundup thinggie happens when I haven’t been posting for a while, although I have been searching the web and listening to new music all the while and then suddenly one day [...] |  The year is over! For some of us, it just came and went – a member of a long list of other such candidates. For some of us it probably was an year of great import, a milestone in our lives in some way or the other.

The house band, Blues Machine had a new vocalist/guitarist and with the resident guitarist, John Chee in attendance we had a swell time. Now, [...] |  Its pretty hard to find decent Blues on the Net which is free to share. And after much digging I was ecstatic to find Gobodobro! Gobodobro – what a name?! It does have Dobro in it which is the primary instrument on their songs. Digging for information about the band proved even harder and this [...] |
 One of the greatest Blues guitarists alive jams with one of the greatest Rock guitarists alive on one of the best known Blues standards ever – these are moments for which people who know and love music, live. Such collaborations are what get us drooling and salivating all over the floor! Buddy Guy is a [...] |  The first post – reason enough to be superstitious! To start off things on an auspicious note, Ladies and Gentlemen, from Los Angeles, California, Jim, Ray, Robbie and John, The Doors! The Doors has always been one of my most favourite bands.
