Play List for Thursday November 27th 2008

This morning’s show happened to fall on Thanksgiving Day. Since my blues show takes place on Thursday morning, this week’s show is my 7th or 8th Thanksgiving Day breakfast with the blues. I generally like to occasionally tie one song to another or match related artists together on occasion, but I’m not huge on running long extensive play sets with common themes. But I generally try to play a fair amount food related songs on the Thanksgiving Day shows. Today’s show was no exception. In today’s computer age, and the art of googling it’s really fairly easy to piece theme shows together. I also played a couple songs as a personal tribute to Robert Lucas. Robert passed away this past Sunday. It’s truly sad to see someone so young (46) and so talented die at such an early age. I’ve been a fan of Robert Lucas, and I am truly sad that I won’t have a chance to see Robert perform live again, or get to check out new material from him. He will certainly be missed, but his music legacy will live on with songs we play on KRVM. Lastly I had a chance to revue a new CD from Glen Terry. His CD “Soul Searchin’” is really good. He is a great guitar player / songwriter and I’m looking forward to playing more songs from this CD on upcoming shows. Hope you had a great Holiday!

Play List for Thursday November 20th 2008

I've ben a bit busy lately, what playing in two bands (rehearsing really) and working in the wood product business. With todays woeful economy any job, be it stessful or not, is a good thing. But if you really want a good time try selling an endless supply of building products in a market when these very little building going on. Anywho this set list was basily another installment of good songs (at least I thought so) for some of my favorite, and I have lots of farorites which make this DJ thing most enjoyable. I played a song fror Carolyn Wonderland's new disc, she tends to scream too much for my taste, but she is an amazing artist. I also threw some new Lil' Dave Thompson in there and finished with two songs from Susan Tedeschi's new CD. I love Susan, she could sing the newspaper (even in today's tough times) and I would love her. Hope you caught the show, and be sure to check out my Thanksgiving Day show where I'll be playing songs about food, eating too much and that sort of thing.
