Musical Interlude: Here's a great unknown track, with a great bluesy rhythm. I love this guy's voice.

MASTODON POSTS GETTING NOTICED ON THE WEB
Mastodon Post
Google claims that it has been indexing this server, C.IM, for ten years. Not that I've noticed. Nonetheless, with some apparent lack of expertise on their part, Google is effectively indexing some of our posts.
Some of the indexing works. Some of it doesn't. For instance, a supposed link to a post of mine about the music band, Roomful of Blues, actually links to whatever post I have made most recently. Not good.
Nonetheless Pt. 2, I am really glad that some of my posts are getting indexed and that a decent amount of the indexing works as it should. You may be glad too. This could be a lot worse.
To take advantage of the indexing that functions properly, I have taken to including
Mastodon Post
prominently in my posts. An example is at the top of this post. That way, the vast majority of Web searchers who have no idea what C.IM means can get the idea that they are seeing something via Mastodon. I am also trying to do better at getting names and terms in my hashtags also represented in the post's main text. Not sure how many people search the Web on a briantylercohen hashtag, but probably a heck of a lot of people run Web searches on Brian Tyler Cohen.
Just some thoughts as to how we might be able to get more help from our friends at Google to attract more attention to things we make a real effort to put out there.

ROOMFUL OF BLUES
"SLAM JAM"
Mastodon Post
Slam Jam
Roomful of Blues - Topic

This is a guitar performance from a band long known for its horns. It's really good too. If I were to pick a favorite track by Roomful of Blues, "Slam Jam" would be up for consideration. "Turn It On! Turn It Up!" is one of my favorite Roomful of Blues albums.

Musical Interlude: And now for something down'n'dirty. Christmas is infamous for being a season of depression, and lawdy, I've had my share of holiday blues in the past...but then, with blues as rich and brassy and vibrant as this, it's hard for me to be depressed....maybe this will give someone else a lift.

That time you buy the new CD for a group you are going to see tonight and put in the notes section, "See you tonight at the Iridium". And get a reply from one of the band members. #RoomfulOfBlues #NotTaylor
