We've got a lot to cover this Tuesday on Blues Moon Radio...
We'll kick off with our #2 of four celebrations of three of the artists - SC's own Wes Mackey, and GA's Willie Jackson and Beverly Guitar Watkins - who will appear live at the Carolina Downhome Blues Festival in Camden this Oct. 4-6 - more info at the Kershaw County Fine Arts Center. See also the Camden Chronicle article.
Then we looked at a little bit of history for Sept. 25 - and there were some fun facts about that date - we have a few songs that tie in, so we matched that right up for you. Enjoy the music as you learn a little history. Win/win.
