Big Shoes Friday Blues Show with Uncle Ed (or Unka Led)
Well, the big news, at least for me, is that Uncle Ed (Unka Led?) did a long version of the shout outs last night—and the first one was Jim the Shrink, which Big Mo had been announcing first for a good while. I about fell out of my chair. I thought after Big Mo retired,…

Big Shoes Friday Blues Show is a Kickin’ Mule!
Last night I finally got it straight from host Ed English what the new name is for the Friday night blues show on KCCK-FM. It’s the Big Shoes Friday Blues Show. Ed has a lot of good energy, his voice is bright, he’s smart, and he makes sure that women and local blues artists get…

Reblog of the Post “When Do We Get Out of the Woods?”
This is a different kind of reblog of the post “When Do We Get Out of the Woods” because I want to mention my invented lyrics for the song from the film “The Wizard of Oz” when Dorothy and the oddballs get out of the haunted woods into the land of Oz. The original song…

Big Shoes Blues Show with Ed English
Well, “Hello” to the Big Shoes Blues Show hosted by Ed English on his inaugural Friday night on KCCK radio 88.3 in Iowa! Bobby D hung out with Ed for a short while at the start of the show. Ed flew just fine solo the rest of the evening. He’s got a great radio voice.…

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…

He’s taking requests for tunes that have cowbell sounds in them and substituting the word “cow” or some synonym for that in song titles and whatnot. One caller suggested “I…
