Blues Moon Radio Playlist for Dec. 1, 2009 - A really BIG show!
Hi Blues fans!
I'm also excited to be interviewing Toni Spearman this Friday at Mac's on Main in Columbia, S.C.
Getting ready to dash out to the station for a great BIG show tonight... I figure that it is only a matter of common sense to put the BIG show (featuring songs that have BIG in the title) on after Feast Week! Umph.
Before you commit to the exercycle, listen in to the Blues Moon Radio Show tonight with Clair DeLune as she presents: Lard have mercy... the BIG show. Should I dedicate this to Ed Sullivan?
Computer tsuris compels me to post an image of the songlist because after all my crashes and fixes (even the cookies on my computer revolted against me today...s-heesh!) there is no time to type it in... there will be a few surprises sprinkled in.

Blues Moon Radio Playlist and info Oct. 6. 2009
Good evening!
My apologies for the successive crashes of the station computer last week, which made it impossible to post the playlist. I don't even know what got played... how dependent on technology have I become? What? Pen and paper? Whussdat?
Anyway, hopefully this week we shall be cured of such horrors.
This week's Blues Moon radio show with Clair DeLune will focus on some great concerts (just past and upcoming), some Blues birthdays, and sadly... the passing of another Delta Bluesman, Sam Carr.
If you were in Camden this past weekend, you are warmly welcomed to share your thoughts in the comments section here - or via my Facebook page (see link at left or search out Clair DeLune - same pic as on this site, because apparently there is more than one of us - who knew? hee hee.).
I'd love to hear what acts you enjoyed the most. I'll pass along your compliments to Kristin, Gary and Danny, who worked VERY hard to bring us another incredible experience.
And don't forget to keep your calendar updated for another great festival (The Columbia Blues Festival) in Columbia on Oct. 17th from noon until 10 p.m.
Their Web site at: http://www.wordofmouthproductions.org/ has the lineup and artist info updated for your perusal.
Thanks, WOMP volunteers for all you do! I'm in awe of how you put on a world-class concert for no charge! Looking forward to seeing everyone - I missed my first one ever last year because of a funeral in the family.
I'm hoping tonight that the playlist function will be working - fingers crossed - so please keep refreshing for the updates as sets are posted throughout the show (6-8 p.m.). Tune into the show via http://wusc.sc.edu for streaming radio.

Blues Moon Radio show playlist July 28, 2009
Thanks for tuning in to tonight's Blues Moon Radio Show, folks... keep refreshing your screen to see the latest updates to the playlist between 6-9 p.m. ET (USA).
A lot of you have mothers. Many many of you, in fact. Some of you might no longer have mothers.
This show is for all of y'all... it's about Mama, Mom, Mommy, Mother, Marmie... whatever pet name you might call her.
It's a tribute to a person who was happy to sacrifice her life's dreams just for a moment of happiness for her child.
It's a tribute to a person who left a huge hole in her child's heart when she had to go.
It's about heart and soul.
It's about uncompromising, unconditional love.
It's about longing for that comfort and understanding that only she could give.
It's about the Blues you get when you know she cannot ever come back.
It's about the joy you feel when you learn she is, inextricably, the best part of you.
It's about Mother.
Yours and mine - but I'll raise my toast to Lucille...
Enjoy,
Clair DeLune

Koko Taylor tribute
Koko Taylor tribute 20090609
Since the days the Classic Blues women of the 1920s dominated the Blues scene, few women have opted to sing the Blues, but Koko Taylor sang with most of the important Blues artists over her career and she was the envy of many a Bluesman because of her gritty, growling vocals that many aspired to emulate, but only she perfected.
Her female contemporaries in the late 1950s were the incomparable legends Big Mama Thornton and Big Maybelle, but Taylor’s career outlasted both – ranging six decades… but sadly ending June 3, 2009, with her death from complications following surgery to correct gastrointestinal bleeding.
Taylor’s signature tune, a 1966 cover of Howlin’ Wolf’s “Wang Dang Doodle,” penned by Chess A&R man and perennial bassist, Willie Dixon, was instantly recognizable at her concerts – and always received with bursts of wild enthusiasm.
Taylor was featured in several films and soundtracks from David Lynch’s outlandish “Wild at Heart” to the mainstream family movie, “Adventures in Babysitting.” Set in Chicago, the movie features Koko covering Howlin’ Wolf’s “Evil” just as the young heroes begin to realize they are in deep trouble with a very bad group of wrong-doers. It sets the entire tone for what is to come and weaves Chicago Blues through the movie. Both movies are highly recommended, for totally different reasons.
She also appeared in “The Blues is Alive and Well in Chicago” in 1970.
She broke ground in bringing Blues to modern TV sitcoms, as well. Her powerful voice on “I’m a Woman” is lip-synched by Rudy – the four-year-old daughter of Dr. Huxtable on “The Cosby Show.” One can only hope the spirit Koko Taylor put into that rendition had a lifetime effect on that tiny Blues Queen aspirant.
Koko Taylor is undeniably a force of nature, as one of her CDs attests, with many awards bestowed upon her.
From her Biography site (:
She’s received Grammy nominations for seven of her last eight Alligator albums, and she won a Grammy in 1984 for the live multi-artist album Blues Explosion on Atlantic Records. In 2004 she was presented with the coveted National Heritage Fellowship Award from the National Endowment For The Arts. She holds 25 Blues Music Awards (more than any other blues artist, male or female). A major feather in her cap came on March 3, 1993, when Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley honored Taylor with a Legend Of The Year Award, and declared “Koko Taylor Day” throughout Chicago. In 1998, Chicago Magazine named her “Chicagoan Of The Year,” and in 1999, Taylor was inducted into the Blues Foundation’s Hall Of Fame. “There are many kings of the blues,” said The Boston Globe, “but only one queen. Koko’s voice is still capable of pinning a listener to the back wall.”
Yes, another of Blues’ third generation of elder statesmen – or woman in this case – has gone on to that Jook Joint in heaven. Following Junior Wells, Johnny Copeland and Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Blues fans mourn the loss of another of the vanguard of the genre.
On a personal note, I learned about this in the wee wee hours of June 4. But the day before, I had sat down – I just happened to be facing West and a little North – and for some reason I envisioned the time I first interviewed Koko Taylor. It was the mid-’90s and I’d seen Koko many times, but had only been doing the Blues Moon radio show for a few years and finally got up my nerve to request an interview with her. When I arrived at Rockafella’s (a club formerly in the Five Points section of Columbia, S.C.) her manager said she would not be doing interviews because Miss Taylor was “upset.” I acceded, but inquired if I could just meet her, shake her hand and thank her for her contribution to the Blues. He was gracious and took me in the dark dressing room. She could not have been more warm and lovely. She would not hear of me leaving and we talked for nearly an hour, and as I left so she could get onstage, she insisted upon exchanging home phone numbers so we could stay in touch. I recall us talking about the loss of her long-time husband, “Pops” Taylor, and how sorely he was missed by her. That day – before I knew she had died, and now wondering what time that was – I sat thinking about how eventually the two of them would be together again in heaven.
It breaks my heart that she is gone – it is almost surreal to consider that fact – because she underpinned so many of the Blues experiences I’ve had. I’ve probably seen her live more times than anyone else by triple.
But it warms my heart to know that she sang until the end, received Traditional Female Performer of the Year at the Blues Awards (formerly the W.C. Handy Awards) this May in Memphis, her hometown. The daughter of a sharecropper ended up “owning” the capital of the Blues. Very fitting.
Koko – it goes without saying that you will be dearly missed by so many who loved you and your music.

Koko Taylor sometimes spelled KoKo Taylor (September 28, 1928 – June 3, 2009)[1] was an American blues musician, popularly known as the "Queen of the Blues." She was known primarily for her rough powerful vocals and traditional blues stylings. In a May 2003 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, she was quoted as saying, "My life is like a train ride in fields of blue."
Life and career
Born Cora Walton in Shelby County, Tennessee, Taylor was the daughter of a sharecropper.[2] She left Memphis for Chicago, Illinois in 1952 with her husband, truck driver Robert "Pops" Taylor.[1] In the late 1950s she began singing in Chicago blues clubs. She was spotted by Willie Dixon in 1962, and this led to wider performances and her first recording contract. In 1965, Taylor was signed by Chess Records, for which her single "Wang Dang Doodle" (written by Dixon, and a hit for Howlin' Wolf five years earlier), featuring guitarist Little Walter,[3] became a major hit, reaching number four on the R&B charts in 1966, and selling a million copies.[1] Taylor recorded many versions of this Dixon-penned song over the past few decades and has added more material, both original and covers, but never repeated that initial chart success.
National touring in the late 1960s and early 1970s improved her fan base, and she became accessible to a wider record-buying public when she signed with Alligator Records in 1975. She recorded nine albums for Alligator, 8 of which were Grammy-nominated), and come to dominate the female blues singer ranks, winning twenty five W. C. Handy Awards (more than any other artist). After her recovery from a near-fatal car crash in 1989, the 1990s found Taylor in films such as Blues Brothers 2000, and she opened a blues club on Division Street in Chicago in 1994, but it closed in 1999.
Taylor influenced musicians such as Bonnie Raitt, Shemekia Copeland, Janis Joplin, Shannon Curfman, and Susan Tedeschi. In the years prior to her death, she performed over 70 concerts a year and resided just south of Chicago in Country Club Hills, Illinois.
In 2008, the Internal Revenue Service said that Taylor owed $400,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest. Her tax problems concerned 1998, 2000 and 2001; for those years combined, her adjusted gross income was $949,000.[4]
Taylor died on June 3, 2009, after complications from surgery for gastrointestinal bleeding on May 19, 2009.[5] Her final performance was at the Blues Music Awards, on May 7, 2009.

Koko Taylor sometimes spelled KoKo Taylor (September 28, 1928 – June 3, 2009)[1] was an American blues musician, popularly known as the "Queen of the Blues." She was known primarily for her rough powerful vocals and traditional blues stylings. In a May 2003 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, she was quoted as saying, "My life is like a train ride in fields of blue."
Life and career
Born Cora Walton in Shelby County, Tennessee, Taylor was the daughter of a sharecropper.[2] She left Memphis for Chicago, Illinois in 1952 with her husband, truck driver Robert "Pops" Taylor.[1] In the late 1950s she began singing in Chicago blues clubs. She was spotted by Willie Dixon in 1962, and this led to wider performances and her first recording contract. In 1965, Taylor was signed by Chess Records, for which her single "Wang Dang Doodle" (written by Dixon, and a hit for Howlin' Wolf five years earlier), featuring guitarist Little Walter,[3] became a major hit, reaching number four on the R&B charts in 1966, and selling a million copies.[1] Taylor recorded many versions of this Dixon-penned song over the past few decades and has added more material, both original and covers, but never repeated that initial chart success.
National touring in the late 1960s and early 1970s improved her fan base, and she became accessible to a wider record-buying public when she signed with Alligator Records in 1975. She recorded nine albums for Alligator, 8 of which were Grammy-nominated), and come to dominate the female blues singer ranks, winning twenty five W. C. Handy Awards (more than any other artist). After her recovery from a near-fatal car crash in 1989, the 1990s found Taylor in films such as Blues Brothers 2000, and she opened a blues club on Division Street in Chicago in 1994, but it closed in 1999.
Taylor influenced musicians such as Bonnie Raitt, Shemekia Copeland, Janis Joplin, Shannon Curfman, and Susan Tedeschi. In the years prior to her death, she performed over 70 concerts a year and resided just south of Chicago in Country Club Hills, Illinois.
In 2008, the Internal Revenue Service said that Taylor owed $400,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest. Her tax problems concerned 1998, 2000 and 2001; for those years combined, her adjusted gross income was $949,000.[4]
Taylor died on June 3, 2009, after complications from surgery for gastrointestinal bleeding on May 19, 2009.[5] Her final performance was at the Blues Music Awards, on May 7, 2009.

Blues Moon Radio Show Playlist for June 2, 2009
Happy June, y'all... hope the weather is treating you well and that you are all healthy and happy - but if not... well then, have I got a show for you this evening!
I was under the weather last week, and hope you will forgive my absence from the air waves. The show was hexed or vexed -- I'm not sure which -- and so was I. No matter how I tried I could not get the whammy off me. I meant to buy a lottery ticket (because, as my friend John says, "Money doesn't buy happiness, but it can buy off a whole lot of unhappiness"), so I was even giving that a try.
I arrived too late to buy a ticket for the $222 million dollar pot-o-dough, which I was told someone in Minot S.D. had apparently won. It was meant to come to "My HOUSE, S.C.!" Again, the whammy. I guess it was "Why not Minot?" and Lord knows if you can live out a winter in that neck of the world, you deserve some bounty, baby.
I asked to buy a ticket for the next go-round and the clerk told me it wasn't worth my while - the pot was only twenty million. I said I'd just have to learn to scrimp and I thought I could deal with that little bit of scratch... she and I both laughed.
Sorry for the long lead-in to this week's show plans - a special day... Marconi patents the radio (and that cheese dish I like so well... "Marconi" and cheese. Ahem.) That and other things that have happened in history on June 2 and the Blues songs those events triggered in my mind.
Celebrating on June 2…

Blues Moon Fundraiser; Tuesday, April 7 6-8 p.m.
Playlist for Tuesday's Blues Moon with Clair DeLune radio fundraiser for WUSC-FM:
The station is educational and non-profit and we must generate what funds student fees cannot cover. As of April 6, we are about 20 percent along toward our goal of $5000.00 dollars necessary to contribute to the equipment and other needs for us to stay on the air this spring.
Because of my father's funeral in the autumn, I didn't participate in the last fundraiser, so I hope my listeners will be especially generous this time around (you all are always so great and you make a huge difference in our ability to keep bringing you the best in alternative music).
Some companies will match your personal donation, so please ask where you work if they will support your donation with a match or underwrite (sort of like a sponsorship) a show or two ( if so, feel free to contact me for a referral to our executive staff).
Here's how you can make your pledge:
Donate online using our secure server at http://wusc.sc.edu/, and please indicate that you enjoy the Blues Moon radio show if you are given that option. Follow up with an e-mail to me, so I can keep track of my show totals: bluesgoddess@gmail.com.
or
Call the station (803) 576-9872 to make your pledge by phone while I'm on the air (we accept checks or credit cards). If you have e-mail, send me an e-mail, so I can keep track of my show totals: bluesgoddess@gmail.com.
We will keep your information confidential - but we do want to send you some of our fine prizes... and, as a special bonus for Blues Moon fans, donors who specify they are donating for the Blues Moon who donate $100 or more will qualify for a drawing for an additional prize sure to put a smile on any music lover's face! Be sure you have sent me an e-mail letting me know... :)
Here is our finance-centric playlist for the evening... keep refreshing your browser to see where we are in the show. Most of these have never been played on the Blues Moon radio show before, so hold onto your hats!
And - by the way - thanks for donating... and for listening ... because without you out there listening, I'd just be home playing my dang stereo. I do this for you.
Let's make the end of my 19th year a sizzler, shall we?

Some companies will match your personal donation, so please ask where you work if they will support your donation with a match or underwrite (sort of like a sponsorship) a show or two ( if so, feel free to contact me for a referral to our executive staff).
Here's how you can make your pledge:
Donate online using our secure server at http://wusc.sc.edu/, and please indicate that you enjoy the Blues Moon radio show if you are given that option. Follow up with an e-mail to me, so I can keep track of my show totals: bluesgoddess@gmail.com.
or
Call the station (803) 576-9872 to make your pledge by phone while I'm on the air (we accept checks or credit cards). If you have e-mail, send me an e-mail, so I can keep track of my show totals: bluesgoddess@gmail.com.
We will keep your information confidential - but we do want to send you some of our fine prizes... and, as a special bonus for Blues Moon fans, donors who specify they are donating for the Blues Moon who donate $100 or more will qualify for a drawing for an additional prize sure to put a smile on any music lover's face! Be sure you have sent me an e-mail letting me know... :)
Here is our finance-centric playlist for the evening... keep refreshing your browser to see where we are in the show. Most of these have never been played on the Blues Moon radio show before, so hold onto your hats!
And - by the way - thanks for donating... and for listening ... because without you out there listening, I'd just be home playing my dang stereo. I do this for you.
Let's make the end of my 19th year a sizzler, shall we?
