In less than a week we'll return to the airwaves at WUSC-FM (www.wusc.sc.edu) to bring you the 29th year of Blues Moon with Clair DeLune as your host!
It was a long, hot summer and my aspiration did not match my perspiration in regard to all I wanted to accomplish on hiatus, but we're rested and ready to be tested, and never bested!
We're kicking off with the week's birthdays followed by a tribute to Aretha Franklin (station policy prevents us from playing a Top Hit usually, but the two I've picked were over 50 years ago - hard to believe - and they are not the usual picks that others have been lauding her with - these are two seminal hits that I feel shaped the burgeoning women's movement - one romantically and the other by instilling a spine and not taking bad treatment - and no, it is not RESPECT... but that is a great one!).
For our theme, we're spinning off of upcoming Labor Day - so work songs are the order - and you'll love them! Here's a portion of what we plan to play you (some surprises to come!):
We hope you missed us as much as we missed bringing the show to you ... we are so happy to be back! Tune in 6-8 p.m. ET/USA (-5 GMT)... www.wusc.sc.edu, then click listen. Sonny Boy Jackson and I will spin you something special~!

Our supporters:
As always we thank our long-time underwriters, who help bring great music to the Midlands all year around, because we could not imagine our show without their input and support: Papa Jazz Record Shoppe, Word of Mouth Productions AND South Carolina Blues.
