    Remarks on Reblog of Big Mo Pod Show “Absorbing Influences”

    This is a reblog of my post “Absorbing Influences,” which was the title of an entry of John Heim (aka Big Mo from the former Big Mo Pod Show). It was a regular review of Big Mo’s Friday blues music show (see link below in the original post). In my blog, I noted that I…

    Well, last night was Bob DeForest’s last Friday night bridging the path for the new Friday Blues guy, Uncle Ed English. He’ll be starting to spin the records on July 10, 2026. I really appreciate Bobby D’s great work and dedication for filling the time gap between Big Mo’s retirement and Uncle Ed’s arrival. Last…

    The B-Side of ‘Keb ‘Mo on KCCK with Bobby D

    Well, I got a surprise last night on KCCK radio on ‘da Blues show with Bob DeForest (Bobby D). I know a couple days ago I wrote about ‘Keb ‘Mo and his optimistic song “All Around the World.” But last night I heard a different song by him and it was one I’d never heard…

    You Have to Read the Reblogs About Florida Man!

    This is a twofer reblog because you get two blogs for the price of one! No, you don’t have to buy anything. The main event is a song entitled “Florida Man” by Selwyn Birchwood, mainly because I first heard it a few years ago on what is now, sadly, the retired Big Mo Blues Show,…

    Da Blues with Bobby D: I Prefer “Bye Bye Blues”

    I can tell you I only half-listened for the most part to ‘da Blues with Bobby D (Bob DeForest) last night on KCCK because I was working on something else. But I could not block out the song “Living in a Dangerous Time” from the Little Axe Champagne & Grits album. I felt haunted by…

    The Skinny on That Whole Cow Week Thing on Radio KOKZ 105.7!

    Just a heads up about the Cow Week post from a couple days ago. Sena got more details about it.  It turns out June is National Dairy Month. So, KOKZ has this event going for Cow Week and more, which I think is still on for next week. It turns out KOKZ has a New…

    Sena told me that one of the DJs at Iowa radio station KOKZ 105.7 is going on a field trip somewhere to milk cows and who knows, maybe he’ll tip one or two. Hey, that’s up to 25% now, bud. There is a very long Wikipedia article on cow tipping, by the way if you’re…
