Monday Morning Blues

Host: The Professor

Mondays 10am-12pm

Join The Professor for 2 hours of Blues and Rock to start your Monday right.  We’ll explore a bit of the vintage Blues, possibly even from his collection of 78rpm records (yep, really old stuff).  But this won’t be all about just the scratchy old records that started it all, the show will be loaded with new artists along with the classics.  There are so many great new artists playing today from Ana Popovic to John Nemeth, it will be hard to choose which ones to feature each week.  Listen in for concert updates in the area, news and free tickets to see shows!

RIP Hubert Sumlin, one of the best early Blues guitarists.  So glad I was able to see him live several times.  Even with an oxygen tank he was still able to put on a great performance at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads show last summer.  The great bluesmen are passing too swiftly. At age 79 and on oxygen full time, he played to the end.

RIP David “Honeyboy” Edwards, June 28, 1915 – August 29, 2011. Why this great blues guitarist was relegated to the side stage at Crossroads and Citizen Cope was on the main stage I will never understand… But at least I finally got to see him play live for a few moments. He was probably the last of the original bluesmen still roaming the Earth and we will be forever in their debt. Could you do this at 95?
