Dear Pandora,
A great friend of mine, Stephen England recommended your music and it is fabulous....I have been listening all afternoon!!!! I am hooked!
Stephen works at the Arboritum in Flagstaff, Arizona. He sets up the summer concert series at the Arboritum..
Thank you for having such a fabulous web presence!
Take Care, Paw

Looks like I missed some fun. Are these bands on Pandora?

Cholly Basoline...it's Kris Peterson, the singer from Detroit. I googled you and found you here. The last time I saw you was in L.A. about 1977. I have been posting on soulfuldetroit.com. I ran into Michelle Valvano, Mikes' niece, and started a thread there about Mike. It sure would be nice to hear from you after all of these years. My e-mail is kpeterson777@sbcglobal.net. Drop me a line.

I looked at the pic. they are nice pic. looks like you all had a good time at the event.

Hi, Jack:

Folk Festival doesn't have an album recorded yet, so they're not up, but Laura Reed & Deep Pocket can be heard on Pandora -- that link in the post above goes to their latest album, "soul:music."

Pandora has added a great quantity of quality listening for 2 years now, or longer. I have only listened to it at work/ I don't have a home computer yet. So at my friend's house, I tried it, using my acct. It starts fine, BUT STOPS MID-SONG AFTER A FEW MINUTES??

I'm checking the speed, but I kind of doubt that's a problem.. WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?

Jerry, San Diego

We'll have Support contact you, Jerry.

Thanks!

I would like to listen to Pandora in my car . Is there any way that I can do it other than through my phone .

Not yet, Jim -- so far the only way to get Pandora in a car is on your phone.

We get that suggestion a lot; you're in good company! :)

Great photos. I just went and listened to your music out of interest and you really are good! Keep up the good work.

I hope you know you killed my network when I let my coworkers know about Pandora! What a great service!

I would like to put together a kid's radio station but currently find that that will turn out to be more folky than child oriented.

It would be great to have Dan Zanes', Raffi's, Captain Bogg and Salty Dog's, and other's childrens music(that list is extensive as you may or may not know). An attribute for kids 2-5, 4-9 and 7-12 along with appropriate genres would be great too.

Thanks,

Tim

Glad to hear you liked the Laura Reed songs, Pates!

Tim -- children's music is something we are hard at work on right now. We will keep you posted as we make more progress on enabling children's music stations.

I looked at the pic. they are nice pic. looks like you all had a good time at the event.

Am new to Pandora. While listing songs, artists or composers works well with most kinds of music, the system doesn't seem to work well with such World Music performers as Ali Farka Toure, Oliver Mtukudzi, Orchestra Baobab or Youssou N'Dour. I get a lot of American Blues or Folk/Blues performers rather than African performers from the same country or region of Africa. Any thoughts?

Hi Barb -

Good question. Your African music stations veered into other musical styles because we simply don't have enough African music live on Pandora yet. But we will -- soon!

We're working hard to build up our international music collection. Our music analysts are being specially trained and we're increasing our music collection massively. We're very excited to release more international music genres on our site.... It'll be worth the wait!

Next time, I recommend that you stop by Savannah, GA. The Savannah Music Festival (just over) is great.
Check it out with Rob Gibson.
