Blues and Rhythm Show 310 on 93.3 CFMU (Hamilton, Ontario)

Swear to Tell the Truth for Tuesday, March 9, 2021 (10:00 to 12:00 noon) – 2021 Findraising Edition

It can’t be avoided. This is CFMU’s Fundraising week. A campus community station must raise funds from its supporters to operate but while we welcome year-round support we campaign for donations just once a year. We accept any amount large or small but a $30.00 pledge gets you a Friends of CFMU card entitling you to discounts and preferences at select local businesses. 10% of every donation will be directed to local food banks. The Blues & Rhythm Show‘s dedicated fundraising program features Blues, R&B, Gospel\, Soul and Country, including a few rare tracks. In case you are afraid that a great portion of the show will be devoted to harassing you to donate we can tell you that the program includes 31 different selections, more than the average number over the past year.

Blues and Rhythm Show 302 on 93.3 CFMU (Hamilton, Ontario)

Swear to Tell the Truth for Tuesday, January 5, 2021 (10:00 to 12:00 noon)

On our first program of 2021 we draw from a couple of recently released albums, one of which contains live material not known to have been preserved and another that traces the career of a figure neglected by reissue companies up to now. If we compiled best album lists these sets would warrant consideration. Otherwise, we have a program with blues from the 1950s and later, pre- and post-war Western Swing, and Gospel, mostly out of Chicago.

On the Show:

James Wayne – Ernestine Allen – Buddy Guy – Ike Turner & the Kings of Rhythm – Billy Branch – Stephen Barry Band – Alfie Smith – Whitehorse – Bob Skyles & His Skyrockets – Jesse James & All the Gang – Norfleet Brothers – Rev. Robert Ballinger – Patterson Singers – Jesse Anderson – and others.

Listen to the program each week at FM 93.3 in Hamilton or on CFMU online at cfmu.ca. The program will be available to stream or download until for eight weeks until March 2nd as a podcast. Just go the website, scroll through 40 shows to Tuesday 10:00 am bring up the right playlist and stream or download the show.
