...like everything else, it seems--is also going multimedia. A much lauded site opened on the Internet and on America Online last year; a record label was launched last April featuring such blues artists as Lightnin' Hopkins and such gospel acts as Clarence Fountain & the Blind Boys of Alabama and Cissy Houston (Whitney's mom).
