Cassette Commotion 3 : Blues Before Sunrise part 2...

So here is the 3rd installment of the "Cassette Commotion" radio show, where I once again delve into  my long abandoned box of cassettes. On this program we hear another of the many tapes that I made containing 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. 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!) ...

Many of the shows are themed (rain, Halloween, coffee, whiskey, ice and snow, ) and on parts of this particular cassette I caught 2 themed shows:

1. songs about floods

2. songs about the moon


(The last program only featured one side of a BBS cassette, but this month you get to hear all 90 minutes ... whoopeeee!!! )

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 ... Part 2 of the Blues Before Sunrise edition of "Cassette Commotion!" ... ENJOY  =
