Here is the 2nd installment of the "Cassette Commotion" radio show where I explore tons of my long abandoned box of cassette tapes. On this program we hear a tape that I made with various songs I recorded many moons ago from the wonderfully unique and educational radio program, "Blues Before Sunrise" (hosted by Steve Cushing).
Each week, in the wee hours of Sunday morning (midnight - 5am) this awesome show is broadcast on certain stations (HERE is a list of the stations that broadcast it). The program showcases obscure blues records from way back when (the early 1900's to the late 60's mostly). I discovered the show quite a while back and started taping the episodes to collect some of the fascinating songs and rare pieces of American musical history. Many of the shows are themed (rain, Halloween, floods, whiskey, ice & snow, the moon) which always makes the experience more interesting.
The show still airs to this day. Just look up one of those public radio stations on that list above and you can listen online (just stay up late one Saturday night!) ...
Anyway, this is just one example of the many cassettes I have of the show (unfortunately I didn't tape any of the host, Steve Cushing's inbetween banter which is always extremely interesting and insightful) Also, I didn't catch the artists and titles for some of the tracks, so if yer a Blues expert and can enlighten me, it'd be greatly appreciated!
So here it is ... the Blues Before Sunrise edition of "Cassette Commotion!" ... ENJOY =
You may download the show RIGHT HERE.
