Blues Moon Radio Playlist for May 3, 2011

Good evening... we have an interview with Scott Cable, of Charlotte N.C., who produced Damon Fowler's newest CD. He will be giving Blues artists and musicians tips on some success tactics for the the business and production sides of music.  I'm very pleased with his interview and think you will be, too.

In the 7 p.m. hour, we will commemorate the 100th birthday of Robert Johnson. We'll start with artists who influenced him, then we'll play some of his top songs, then finish up with some of the artists he influenced.

We'll never have time to fit all this in, but we'll choose from these songs in the second hour of the show.
