Hello TMB Fans -
Here is the "executive summary" ...
"Those Monday Blues"
Monday, 5pm - 8pm EST
Request Line : 802-654-2887
AOL/AIM Screenname : WWPV887
Just a little announcement, the regular WWPV programming is done for the school year but "Those Midnight Blues" will not be disappearing from the schedule..per se. My show has been granted a coveted 5pm-8pm time slot on Mondays for the summer. Just as importantly, I don't have to change the "TMB" acronym. While the show's name was changed from "Those Midnight Blues" to "Those Monday Blues", it will be the same great Blues music except I will have 3 hours instead of two. Due to the earlier time slot, I am hoping for a variety of interesting guests & co-hosts that an earlier time slot can afford. Sadly, one of the biggest drawbacks will be having to turn down the volume which is not a problem at midnight in a nearly empty building. At 5pm, I will have to be more conscious of the neighbors.
My format will largely be the same but I am going to try to tighten it up ...just a tad. :-) Nah!!! It will be the same blocks of acoustic blues, electric blues, all decades, all genres with special emphasis on women who sing the Blues, local & regional Blues artists, and New Blues Releases as I can get them. In addition, I will be adding a local Blues event calendar segment at 20 minutes after the hour after the first public service announcment. As per TMB tradition, I will always endeavor to be fulfill requests from the listeners. The listeners are where I get my best ideas. :-)
I will probably leave the blog's name and show's name on the playlist service the same for now.
Cheers,
OneChord

Still More New Music : Sue Foley
Welcome TMB Fans!
"Those Midnight Blues" is anxious to share still more new music to arrive at the studio, Sue Foley's latest effort, "New Used Car". Sue Foley has been referred to as "The Canadian Queen of the Blues Guitar". This will be her first studio release in four years. So far, I am liking what I am hearing. As you all know, there is a special place for female Blues artists on this show especially for those who are of the player-songwriter-vocalist stripe like Foley. She plays a mean axe and has the pipes to go with it combined with original songwriting. I am very excited to share these new tracks with you. She wrote or co-wrote 11 out of the 12 tracks on "New Used Car"and has received a record setting 17 of Canada's Maple Blues Awards.
But wait there is more!
Due to Foley's inspiration and contributing effort lead to a CD compilation of "Blues Guitar Women", a documentation of women guitar players from the past to the present. The 2-disc set is available now and a forthcoming book is in the works. More information on that project as it becomes available.
Definitely expect to hear a few tracks from "New Used Car" this week along with other contemporary artists and those artists from the past that inspired them.
Cheers,
OneChord

New Acoustic Blues : Catfish Keith's "Sweet Pea"
Salutations, Midnight Blues Fans !
John Sheehey, the venerable sage of the WWPV Folk Show, sensed my recent yen to play more acoustic Blues, (especially slide resonator guitars) and put me onto Catfish Keith's newest release, "Sweet Pea". I am definitely keeping Catfish Keith in my acoustic blues rotation for those late nights where I want to sink into the twilight and hear "the Delta" here in Vermont. Expect to hear more of the "Catfish" during my more reflective moments during the show.
Cheers & Right back atcha!

I will do my best to round up some tracks by Tab Benoit. Don't worry I will play tracks from the other various nominees from the other categories as well and take your requests. However, I am feeling the need for some serious Delta Acoustic Blues.
Your ever dutiful Blues host,
OneChord.
