Tonight on Cha Cha Cha In Blue we're still COVID aware and this is my 149th show recorded at home. It's our annual FUNDING DRIVE and I urge everyone to DONATE! And please click Cha Cha Cha In Blue as the show through which you're donating. To help put you in the right frame of mind here are some money shots from Buddy Guy, Kevin Mark, Pat Loiselle, Steve Dawson, Fonky Donkey, Mitch Woods, Endrick & The Sandwiches, and Paul DesLauriers & Annika Chambers. Four of the aforementioned artists have been guests on the show - three in studio and one by phone. Can you guess who? This week's featured new releases are from the Rhythm Krewe, Johnny Wheels & The Swamp Donkeys, and The Weezil Malone Band. In the "history" part of the show I've got Tampa Red, Bo Carter, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, T-Bone Walker, Otis Spann, Albert King, Marcia Ball, and Jimmie Vaughan. We'll close with a song from the Ben Racine Band in advance of their Thursday appearance at Upstairs.
