In the "history" part of the show I've got Jimmy Rogers, Percy Mayfield, T-Bone Walker, The Four Blazes, Robert Anderson, Big Mama Thornton, Howlin' Wolf, Barkin' Bill Smith, and Wayne Nicholson & John Campbelljohn. We'll close with a song from Jim Dan Dee who will be performing as a duo at Barfly on Tuesday.
