Hey, Blues fans!
Had a family crisis that - although it has turned out okay - is going to prevent me from being able to get up to the station for my show tonight...
... so, don't panic... reach for your old crackly vinyl - or better yet... 78s! - and spin a few platters yourself until I can get back in the studio and provide you with my usual level of fine service that we at Blues Moon Radio attempt to bring you each week.
And if you don't have a turntable, I heard on Facebook that Bed Bath and Beyond is selling USB turntables for under 30 bucks - don't forget your coupons!
If all else fails, there is always your faithful MP3 player...
My apologies for missing tonight - and I promise next week will be jam-packed with fabulous faves and a special treat: an interview with the lovely and always upbeat Toni Spearman!
Best to you... may you and your family stay safe, healthy and happy.

Blues Moon hiatus ends Jan. 5 at 6
I appreciate the understanding of listeners and fans about the absence of the Blues Moon radio airwaves these past two Tuesdays -- although it is not abnormal for me to take a hiatus during the winter holidays, this set of absences was caused by the unexpected illness and death of two dear friends' parents.
My heart goes out to my friends during this time of mourning.
The Blues Moon will resume on Jan. 5, 2010. I wish all of you a great new year - prosperous (because that is a good thing, despite what some think - if you don't believe me, just make more than you need, give away the excess to a good cause* and see how much better the world is); healthful and happy.
And although I see 2010 as being better than 2008 or 2009, I think I'll see things more clearly in 20/20!
All good things to you and yours!
Best,
clair delune and RawkyDawg, Blues Defender
*Rocky's favorite charity (and by that same token, mine too) is SQ Rescue, the German Shepherd (and other breed) foundation that brought my formerly starved and beaten sweetheart of a pup home to live with me. SQ Rescue tells me they are unable to take in any more dogs until they can raise more funds because so many dogs they had adopted out have been returned because of the economy... it's truly sad. I'm donating and hope you will, too. But you choose one you like if you have one near you... or another type of charity altogether.

... because of illness of your host, Clair DeLune. I'll be back next week - hopefully.
Meanwhile, enjoy the reviews of some of Blind Pig's artists (entry under this one).

Missing: Blues Moon radio show tonight
Sorry I had to miss the show, folks... had an accident earlier in the week that I'm recovering from.
Should be back in the DJ seat next Tuesday... in the meantime, if you have the chance to support the Bull Durham Blues Festival this coming weekend, please do... it promises to be a good one.
The Web site is up for the Downhome Blues Festival in Camden, SC (USA) the first Th/F/Sat of October, so check it out at www.bluesbash.com/camden.
If you are in Columbia SC on Friday, check out Doc's BBQ down by the stadium for the Flat Out Strangers early performance (starting about six p.m.). Entertaining AND great musicianship.
More soon... clair delune

Station is closed - no Blues Moon Radio tonight - Aug. 11, 2009
No show tonight...
I'm informed that all station personnel have to leave because the carpets are being cleaned.
Wot? There's no carpeting in the Blues!
Well, apparently I have the:
"Got no show, but got some clean carpets to show for it... wait for it... here it comes... you ready?... Blues!"

Blues Moon with Clair DeLune update
Spring Break is here and I'm not. I had intended to do the show, but got caught with a project at work that needed my attention and I won't be able to make it to the station tonight.
But, the good news is that I promise to be back next week with a wonderful show - featuring a lot of the distaff side of Blues since it is Women's History month (or Her-story month?).

Best laid plans...
Well, I apologize.
I went to all that prep and stayed up notifying my entire e-mail list all around the globe about the Tribute to Dad... and WHAT? I arrive at the station to find the Web stream is down.
Down? Why, it's never down. (ummm... almost never).
If I didn't know better, I'd think Dad was razzin' me from above. He never did like my kind of music, so he's probably ditching my show and hoping I'll sub out a tribute to him in the old Swing music. Maybe I will, soon...
... if he'll stop messin' with the Web stream...
I'm jes sayin'...
Again, my apologies for the big tease for a no show (literally).
Next week I'll try again, but our show times for the Fall have yet to be announced. I'll post the time here as soon as I know and I'm saving the show for next time.
Until then, maybe God will ask Benny Goodman to play for my Dad and Mom... that dreamy music they loved.
Thanks to everyone who has written to send condolences and love. My heart is full. Good friends, all.
... don't just feel love... express it...

Where Clair? She ain't on the air!
Sorry to have missed two shows in a row, but life conspires sometimes - and if it didn't, well, we'd never have "the blues" and we'd miss out on a great genre of music, wouldn't we?
See? Now I've cheered you up and you don't need me anymore.
Last week I was out because I wanted to attend the funeral of a friend's father - she's been through a lot and we've kept each other buoyed during our fathers' illnesses.
And this week, work went over and I just couldn't get to the station in time. As ever, I must look at the bright side: how fortunate I am to work at what I love - writing - and to also work at a radio station that allows me the chance to play music I love for people I know and those I have yet to meet.
Please tune in again next week... I promise I'll be there! I'll have a Blues tribute to "Dub"... much love to his family and all my sympathy.
