detour BLUES

Cash FOR CLUNKERS

IF MY BODY WERE A CAR.

If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model.  I’ve got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish, and my paint job is getting a little dull. But that’s not the worst of it.  My headlights are out of focus, and it’s especially hard to see things up close.

My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.

My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently.

But here’s the worst of it –

Almost every time I sneeze, cough or laugh, either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires.

CASH FOR CLUNKERS……….  I QUALIFY  -  How about You?

The webcam in the studios here at detour BLUES are temporarily unavailable. I am in the process of changing the programs on that computer to another one more suitable for the job. Sorry for the inconvenience. The new setup will have the camera placed so that you will get a better view of the host. The previous camera location was more from the side. The new location will be from the front.

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!

For those of you who have been wondering what the studios here at detour BLUES look like, here you go!

Like listening to detour BLUES, but hate having to open up different programs to listen to the station, chat with hosts, watch the webcam, etc? Now you can download a “custom” tool bar that you can install on your computer which makes it easy to do all of these things. Just click here and download the detour BLUES toolbar, makes life so much easier, and you can spend more time listening to detour BLUES!
