As my grade school teachers always said, better late than never!
So I finally signed up for the Maryland 23 Things program albeit a few weeks late. I am excited to delve into these new technologies. I am excited to see more and more resources available to us through the Internet. I'm a huge fan of digital collections and dream of a day when we'll be able to access almost any resource right from our computers. From the title of the Blog you may have guessed I am a fiddler-- I play traditional Appalachian fiddle and banjo (aka Old-Time Music) and I use this great digital resource all the time to learn about the music:
The Digital Library of Appalachia
From here I have access to photographs, manuscripts, field recordings and more. Anyway, the point is, I am looking forward to seeing more libraries and institutions putting their collections online like this. I like that this program is helping to make us aware of technologies out there that our customers are using.
That's all for now!

Brian, when will you be doing a music program for the library? Maybe you could fiddle and someone could teach everybody how to clog! That would be so cool. Your blog looks great.
Thanks for the compliment! The clogging program is an excellent idea... I have been brainstorming program ideas that involve roots music but hadn't thought of clogging!
