Swear to Tell the Truth for Tuesday, October 21st, (1:00-2:30 pm)
This week, we look at some more performers scheduled for the first Hammer Bluesfest (Columbus Club of Hamilton, 222 Queenston Road, November 1st). Also on the program vaudeville blues, comedy and blues, white country music and blues. This is no deep examination but we play examples of vaudeville-influenced blues records and a few examples of musical crossover between black and white music in the twenties and thirties.
On the Show:
Morgan Davis – Smoke Wagon Blues Band – King Biscuit Boy – Blind Uncle Gaspard – Bert Williams – Coot Grant & Socks Wilson – Clara Smith & Lonnie Johnson – Hokum Boys – Emmett Miller & His Georgia Crackers – and others
Listen to the program at FM 93.3 in Hamilton or on CFMU online at cfmu.mcmaster.ca. The program will be available to stream or as a podcast until November 19th.
