Tonight on Cha Cha Cha In Blue we start with new singles from Little Feat, Bywater Call, Son Of Dave, Joe Bonamassa, Midnight Miles, and Alastair Greene. Then we report the unfortunate news that Dicky Betts, founding member of The Allman Brothers Band has passed. This week's featured new releases are from Anthony Geraci and Blind Lemon Pledge. In the "history" part of the show I've got Bessie Smith, Willie Nix, Ruth Brown, Ray Charles, Lonesome Sundown, Earl Hooker, Hop Wilson, Clarence Hollimon, Albert King, and Barkin' Bill Smith. We'll close with a song from Paolo Stante before his cd launch party at The Mayfair Tavern in Pointe-Claire on Thursday.

R.I.P. DICKY BETTS (December 12, 1943 – April 18, 2024)
	Talk Time ID				Dickey Betts, the legendary co-founding guitarist of Allman Brothers and one of the most influential rock guitarists of his generation, has died aged 80. Here are 2 of my favorite Betts compositions.
The Allman Brothers Band	In Memory of Elizabeth Reed	A Decade of Hits 1969-1979	Polydor Records	1970	“In Memory of Elizabeth Reed was inspired by a woman I knew named Carmella. At the time, she was involved with a friend of mine, but something started to happen be- tween her and myself. She was a very seductive, sultry, secretive woman, and I thought our little cloak-and-dagger romance was a beautiful image for a song. She and I would rendezvous in this old abandoned graveyard by the river, which was the place I liked to go to write songs.
The Allman Brothers Band	Ramblin' Man	A Decade of Hits 1969-1979	Polydor Records	1969	Ramblin’ Man was written and performed in the key of G, but the original recording was sped up in the mastering process, which, in addition to increasing the tempo by a few beats per minute, raised its pitch a little more than a half step, resulting in the finished track sounding slightly sharp of the key of Ab.
