As an educational station, WUSC tries to bring you music you might not be aware of... but every Blues Moon, I find a reason to go all Chess on ya. Here is a bit of history that prompts me to spend some in-depth time at Chess Records this Tuesday. It cannot help but be a fantastic show - all thanks to the artists, none due to me. Guaranteed to be one you Chicago Blues fans and Blues-Rock fans will want to mark your calendars for...
Blues Moon Radio thanks you!
Artist(s) of the week for Tuesday, Oct. 9 from 6-8 p.m. ET (-5 GMT - and yes, we stream around the world as well as broadcast and HD cast at WUSC-FM 90.5 and HD1 Columbia (S.C.): Muddy Waters and his Chess Records pals... in Mid-October 1969, Muddy was involved in a terrible head-on automobile collision that killed his driver and left him hospitalized for two months; a week later, Leonard Chess - just after selling Chess Records - suffered a heart attack behind the wheel and died in the resulting crash.
We will pay tribute to the wondrous contributions of the artists at that amazing set of labels, with special attention to McKinley Morganfield himself - and many of his label-mates and band-mates.
Tune in to Blues Moon Radio's stream at WUSC-FM www.wusc.sc.edu for a tour de force of Chess music. Tuesday, Oct. 9 from 6-8 p.m. E.T. (-5 GMT - and yes, we stream around the world as well as broadcast and HD cast at WUSC-FM 90.5 and HD1 Columbia S.C.).
And please ... drive defensively - work hard to become a type B driver... this is one time in life you don't want to be a A.
Trust me, dear hearts. "Mama" is right about this.
Check back... more to come!
Clair DeLune and RockyDawg, Blues Defender!
