John 'blueshammer' Hammer | | Come Home to the Radio Yes indeed; recent MPR studies prove those who embrace the old timey technology of the radio are inherently smarter. We don't make this stuff up! This week on Hammered By The Blues ( Sunday on KOWZ Noon on 1170am. Classic episodes rebroadcast on line Tues at 9am and Sat at 11am on www.boundarywatersradio.com) we will do our best to rock the AM side of things. Yeah, we may not boast the huge FM signal we once had (due to new economic requirements of our host station), none the less we stay true to our mission to play the best blues on the airwaves. We kick this bad motorscooter over with The Delta Flyers and tracks off 'On The Levee Road'. We settle back for a little gee-tar lesson from Iowa with Joe Price sharing his best off 'Rain or Shine'. We likes it sideways when we hook up with Buckwheat Zydeco as he gets our cajun blood pumpin' with selections off 'Lay Your Burden Down'. Hook up the LARGE antenna and join us if ya can.... We gots the elixir to sooth your soul; Whether we go real fast or slow our roll; We plays the blues you want to hear; While sittin' on yer porch enjoyin' cold beer. Hammer-time! | | Just Down the Street in Dallas
By Larry Miller
I live in Dallas, Texas about two blocks from a bar. It just so happens that this is a BLUES BAR near the end of a street replete with music joints and restaurants and bars. It opens at 3:00 pm and closes at 2:00 am. No food, no popcorn, no beer nuts!! Just beer, more beer, wine, and liquor....lots of liquor and LIVE MUSIC, mostly BLUES, with two bands a night on many nights. A love for the blues, and curiosity, compelled me to visit this Blues bar where the mostly Caucasian patrons are treated to gut-level and wonderfully vulgar blues songs, songs about death and love, songs with open solicitations for sex, and songs about the utter brilliance of quick, hot, and hard passion (and occasionally it's consequences), all being told by a narrator who is in major despair and is depressed out of his mind, i.e., has the blues. That first night, when the slender young white guitar player stood at the mike, peeked around his girlish locks like veronica lake, and said: "We're gonna play the Blues for ya. Has anyone here ever had the blues? Then you know what i'm talking about!!!". Well, the crowd started applauding even before the music started!!And when the band launched into the first tune, the audience seemingly felt themselves (and their own blues and their own sexuality) existentially relevant and justified - They howled and applauded like hell at the end of "Hootchie Cootchie Man", (mostly the females at the front tables, who loved the idea of the blues-man having a "Mojo" and a "Hootchie Cootchie Man", "). duke romilar (a.k.a. larry miller)
