End of summer (bummer)

These last couple days have been great outside. I was in the WMSE studio last night and it was hot due to the studio lights and the tunes, man. Hope to see you at the Food Slam Friday night. I will be there doing coat check early on and hanging out like everyone else after that.

Post-Cebar showgram trax

I had the pleasure of following Paul Cebar this week -- he was filling in on the Blues Drive right before my showgram. Lacking his vast knowledge of roots music and his massive record, CD and tape collection, I stuck with my usual thing. Here are new tracks and the official start of a new concept for the 80s at 8:30 -- a featured artist or theme.
