Once we finish with those we'll play some coffee and tobacco songs - November is Great American SmokeOut Month, so we're getting you in the mood to give up tobacco ... but hey, we're on a swing where coffee is considered good for you again, so drink up, Java-Jivers!

Here's the playlist:

But, first we'll kick off the show with local artists JellyRoll and Delicious Dish for our roots music segment - they are not Blues, but they have a wonderful mid-60s (almost garage) lilt to their music.

Here are some links about their music and events:
