[edit] Change (Movement) of Article Title

After first proposing this change (movement) in late May, I changed the title of this article from "New Orleans Blues" to "New Orleans Rhythm and Blues," because frankly I've never heard this genre referred to as "New Orleans Blues" but always as "New Orleans Rhythm and Blues." For example, see the book titles by Broven and Hannusch in the "Sources" section that I added.

In general, however, this stub is substandard in qualilty, given the importance of the topic to American popular culture -- it needs improvement badly.

[edit] Removal of Cajun Reference

I cut "as well as distinctively Cajun influences (see zydeco)". Where does this analysis come from? Examples? -- Infrogmation

[edit] Suggestion for Changing (Moving) Article Title

I converted this entry to a stub because it needs much additional information, given the importance of this genre to American music. Also, I suggest changing the entry's title to "New Orleans Rhythm and Blues," which is the most common term for this genre; I've never heard anyone refer to it simply as "New Orleans Blues," which to seems unintentionally misleading.--Skb8721 15:06, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
