We have a great show lined up for tonight and it kicks off with a great song "The Talkin' Is Over - the Walkin' Has Begun," by the growly and gritty Johnny Sansone.
Got some big leaps to make to get past the grip of evil, so the rest of the theme is to inspire everyone in their efforts to "be nice, and do right" and jump over evil so as not to let it "gitcha!" Evil comes in large AND small ways you know. The Blues will teach you that you cannot close your eyes to evil or it grows unfettered.
We are also celebrating our Artist of the Week, Etta James, with thanks to our segment underwriter, WordofMouthProductions.org, who bring great music to the Midlands!
And a tip of the felt Tam to SC's own NEA Heritage Fellow, Drink Small, whose 84th birthday takes place on 1/28! The link is to an interview I set up between him and the NEA two years ago, and was asked to transcribe... it was 10,000 words and in Drink's deeply Southern drawl, so I linked to the transcription for you non-Suthnuhs. You are welcome!

In addition to the playlist below, we'll hear tribute cuts to two SC Blues artists, Drink Small; another Jan 28th birthday celebrant, Juke Joint Johnny*, and Charleston's own Shrimp City Slim, who appears at Foxfield Friday night...
*Due to unforeseen circumstances that took place after this was first published, Juke Joint Johnny will no longer be featured on Blues Moon Radio.
