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!
