STAR BLUES on 24th July 2011 at 22:00

Our "1001 Blues" feature has been running for well over six months now so we took the opportunity last night to add a bit more research to the original tales and play the first 26 again as Volume One. With any liuck I'll write them up as a free book if you send me your email address to gary.blue@star107.co.uk

So we had Etta James and Howlin Wolf, Lead Belly and Little Richard to name but four. The full tracklisting is shown here, and I'll be back next Sunday at ten pm, suitably adorned in white upper body garment with as much tomfoolery and blues as I can get away with. Until then take care of yourselves and take care of those that take care of you.
