Blues Moon Radio playlist, info, and upcoming events

Thanks to "The Fox" for subbing in while I had perhaps the first case of flu in the Midlands of South Cackalacky. That had me down for the count, y'all. I pity anyone who has been sick with anything similar and power to them if they kept motoring. I could be up 15 minutes a day, max. So, again, thanks to Fox for subbing!

I am crawling back to life, so will keep this short...

Today's show is a mix - we have some fun stuff and some things to proclaim!

One is the Roy Book Binder show at the UU Coffeehouse in Columbia, SC on Saturday Sept 17. Go and see this master of finger-picked guitar - if you know and love Blues, you will be aware he traveled with and learned from SC's own Rev. Gary Davis in the 1970s. Absorbed a lot from him. I've done an interview in RBB's Traveling Man wagon, and his stories are not to be missed. Click below for info on UU tix.

Another is the FolkFabulous Festival on Saturday, Sept 24 on the USC Horseshoe. That fest is free and worth a million dollars. I will be interviewing the cultural coordinator, Laura Green, next week on Blues Moon Radio, but this week we'll be featuring Freddie Vanderford, Piedmont Blues Harp and Mill Billy Blues as our Word of Mouth Productions' Artist of the Week. Just could not love them more!

Our Facebook pal, Mr. Venditti, asked why I couldn't play a collection of "Alberts" on the show, and there is no good reason not to and a thousand great ones to do it... so we will call his bet... and raise him an Alberta, to boot! I love to hear requests on my Blues Moon Radio Facebook page... I plan shows in advance, so hop on the request bus early for best seating!

Here is tonight's playlist, from which I'll choose the songs... and beneath that is info/links about the two concerts coming up. Don't forget October is the Downhome Blues Festival in Camden (Oct 6 - 8) and Word of Mouth Productions' Columbia Blues Fest is (free!) in Columbia Saturday, Oct. 15th in Martin Luther King Park.

Folk Fabulous: Saturday, September 24, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
