detour BLUES

John Tibbs, the administrator of detour BLUES, passed away on July 30, 2010 at the age of 55. He was a strong advocate of independent radio and exposing listeners to new music. John was very passionate towards his listeners as well, always trying to make their listening experience unique and fun. Everyone at the detour network would like to thank him for his hard work and dedication since 2006. He will be missed. Please post any comments or memories you may have of John here.

detour BLUES will continue to broadcast as normal. We will be working on taking over John’s operation over the next month. New music and new shows are also in the works! Stay tuned for more blues as we remember John by continuing the station that he started.

II’d like to apologize to all of my listeners for my absence from the station these past few weeks. I have a few health issues… I am a diabetic and am on dialysis, along with a few other issues. I’ve had a few problems lately and that has been the reason for my absence, but beginning on Monday, July 26, 2010, I will be back broadcasting th e show Blues You Can Use, from 1-5pm eastern. I’ll be taking you requests and dedications as well and I’ve got some great new tunes for you as well!

The detour network will be upgrading the server today. We will be down for a few hours starting at 1:30pm on Saturday, July 10th. detour MUSIC, detour TALK, and detour BLUES will be down for a few hours during this upgrade. Please check back for any additional updates.
