TBH, Regional Blues Sites, Blues Clubs

So, what we have here . . .
. . . are links to Regional Blues Sites, or those sites that exist mostly to serve a particular area of the world. Deciding this "regional" status isn't always easy. For instance, you won't find links here to Memphis Mojo or the New Orleans & Louisiana Music Page. Sure they're "regional," but so is lasagna. On the other hand, you will find such sites as Blues In Chicago and San Diego Blues Online, because their content is of greater value to the cities' residents and visitors. (Please do complete the Italian foods metaphor for me.) Most of these links have been moved from the other links pages, but when I'm really confused, I'll just copy them here.
Also, you will find links to Blues Clubs here, but you won't find links to Blues Artists, because I'm not about to get into who is and who ain't "national." And I haven't included links here to all the great Blues Societies, though they are indeed excellent resources for regional blues information. One more point. If you are considering creating your own blues site, here's a tip: We need a lot more regional blues sites out there! If you do one, I'll be sure to add a link here. Thanks.
