Here’s some of the comments you, our listeners, have made about the station! Thanks to each and every one of you! Without you, there’d be no reason for the station!

Awesome stream! Work is much more enjoyable…

Got any more Tab Benoit?

Got any “Bad New Blues Band” i.e Johnny Guitar?

Do you know Pat “Guitar Slim” Chase? A local guy here; 3-4 CD’s published in the El Paso, TX/ Las Cruces, NM area. Plays upside down and backwards like Hendricks.

Got Coco Montoya? Todd Tijerina? John Mooney; “Big Ol’ Fiya”? Ruthie Foster?

http://www.silvercity.org/dest_blues_festival.php is where we get an annual festival of blues. Great stuff…

Thanks again for the stream…

Don’t hold your breath too long… You might get blue…

Hi Don,

I’m sitting here up in Toronto, listening via iTunes, to some of the
best damn blues music ever.

Good work – keep it up

Great site, John! Thanks for supporting the music. I’ll encourage Gary Kendall to send our new cd to you. Check out our website and MySpace for more on The Gary Kendall Band. All the best…..

I just discovered your station on iTunes — as far as I can tell, this is the first Blues station where it feels like actual people who love the Blues pick the music…and Kudos on the sound quality!

IMHO, the only other station that stands out like this is Limbik Frequencies…fortunately for both stations, they aren’t competing for the same listeners.

Keep up the great programming — it’s appreciated!

Well, the Memorial Day weekend is over and we’re all back to our “normal” routines at this time. I sincerely hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, ate plenty, and if you did any “partying”, did so responsibly. One thing we need to remember is, just because the holiday is over, doesn’t mean we should forget the efforts of the soldiers, stationed abroad and at home. They’re “best” day is typically worse than our “worst” days. Keep them in your prayers and even drop them a line or two once in a while. We all need to let them know we appreciate their efforts… here’s something to reflect upon!
