I'll play the Blues for you

On occasion, I get to guest host a blues radio program,  Johnny Mack's Friday Night Blues Attack, which airs every Friday from 9:00 pm - 3:00 am on WDVX-FM in Clinton/Knoxville, TN and online live through webcast.   It is a passion and hobby for me and great fun.   On Friday night, April 5, was one of these occasions.   Johnny Mack brings me some newer blues releases and ole Blue Lou supplies the rest of the nights tunes from my personal collection.



A couple of highlights of this past show was my daughter Ashlyn dropping by the WDVX downtown studio to check out the show and a phone call request from Billy Bob in New South Wales, Australia - great to hear that Aussie accent.  He requested to hear some Sonny Terry and (Knoxville's own) Brownie McGhee.

I heard from lots of friends and listeners through emails, texts and phone calls.  Since the show, several folks have requested a playlist of the songs that aired during the broadcast.  I'm always glad to oblige.  It's a long list; I was on for six hours!
