GREAT BLUES SHOW ON KERA CHANNEL 13 - UPCOMING DATES

Early this past Monday morning, I stumbled on a great blues show that our local PBS station, KERA/Channel 13 is currently airing: Soundstage: Chicago Blues Summit. It was filmed in 1974 and centers around Muddy Waters. Also appearing are Willie Dixon, Dr John, Junior Wells, Koko Taylor, Mike Bloomfield, Nick Gravenites, Buddy Miles and Johnny Winter.

You can see a preview here: http://video.pbs.org/video/2365431786/


It's scheduled to rebroadcast on the following dates and times:

Saturday, March 07

12:00 am CT

Monday, March 09

10:00 pm CT

Saturday, March 14

11:30 pm CT

A beautiful piece of blues history that's well worth watching.

 THIS FRIDAY NIGHT - KNON BENEFIT WITH BIG BILL MORGANFIELD. TICKETS AND INFO AT WWW.KNON.ORG

March is Women's History Month              

     Women's History Month dates back to 1981 when Congress passed Pub. L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as "Women's History Week."  In 1987, after being petitioned by the National Women's History Project, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9 which designated the month of March 1987 as "Women's History Month." (From the Law Library of Congress' guide to the legislative history of Women's History Month)

     Of course, I always try to give women blues artists at least 50% of airplay on BIG TEXAS BLUES every week, because there is so little blues radio left in the world, and it seems like the women artists only get a sliver of that tiny airtime. So during the month of March, look for me to feature even more Women of the Blues.

     If you have a favorite Blueswoman you’d like to hear more of and/or about this month, email me and let me know at bluelisablues@aol.com
