WBRS True Blues with Greg Sarni

WBRS True Blues Tune in Wednesday, the last day of 2008 for the top Blues releases of the year, in no particular order. I used to tabulate my Living Blues playlists for each month, assign points per the Formula 1 World Championship points system to come up with number one. They keep changing their scoring system and what's with all the obsession with being number one anyway? If I'm playing it Wednesday, or anyday for that matter, trust me, it's good. We'll throw… Continue

Eartha Kitt The Diva.

The end of an era has come with the passing of one of the greatest stage,screen,television and vocal artists that ever walked the boards. They don't make them like you any more Ms.Kitt if they ever did, for you were a self made power that brought joy,pride and hope before the dream. Goodbye,you will be missed but never forgotten!!

Phil Guy/Chico Banks

I heard recently that we have lost both Chico Banks and Phil Guy. Two beautiful people and wonderfully talented musicians. I remember when I first decided to make the jump from rock to blues and moved back near Chicago in the late 80's/early 90's. The first people I sat in with was Phil and Chico. Phil was playing at Leroy's Hot Stuff and had Chico on guitar. Phil gave me his Telecaster to play and Chico was more than gracious to play with me. Neither of them knew me at the time, they didn't… Continue
