"Big City Blues" by H-Bomb Ferguson. Blues, Off The Record Mon Jul 1 with Sonny Boy Williamson III on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Helloooo!

@Sonny Boy Williamson III (host) And a big helloooo to you, too! No matter one's religious beliefs (or lack thereof), starting off the first of the month with such positive spirits as evinced in these gospel numbers is real positivity. Thanks.

Thank you Richard!

I'm hearing a second recvord paying under the main track right now.

A track is playing over your voice right now.

Hi Richard -- just checked the FM signal on my end

Not hearing another track

It's okay now ... AND ... I'm totally embarassed to say ... it might have been on MY end!

Yes, it was on my end. Something was playing i didn't realize. Sorry!!!

No worries!

Brenda Boykin is a killer talent! Another outstanding blues or jazz artist to which Blues Off the Record has introduced me. Thanks.

More on Ann Cole of Newark: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Cole

And the early recordings of "Got My Mo-Jo Working" ... fascinating and important history. Thanks for the link.

Robert Johnson used this same melody for "Last fair deal"

Like any great art form, the blues has so many crisscrossing influences within it.

As ear-witness just now, Etta Baker's "Spanish Fandango." Equisite ...

Thanks for the awesome show!

Thanks Richard! And thanks all for listening.

Yessir! Thank you again.
