My fifteenth and nearly final Pappa Don show on WUTT, I scratch the surface of the very deep Blues genre, focusing on Texas Blues, one of my favorites. This was a fun show, with a lot of hiccups (you may detect) – I found the gremlins from my last show (and fixed them), while also finding the telephone interface set to “auto” and the mixer phone channel set to full duplex (which causes feedback) – the studio was a technical train-wreck, which I fortunately had enough time tonight to spot and fix prior to air-time. One thing I could have prevented…and I dearly wished I had…my Tascam DR40 recorder ran out of juice (batteries) late in the show, and consequently I lost recording a dear caller who took the time to phone in as well as the final raucous 30 minutes of the show. When I’m in the studio I use my own gear, I bring in my own recorder, playlists and laptop because I never know what condition things are in when I arrive. Typically things are dorked up and I find it’s easier for me to run my shows from my own equipment…this time I should have had fresh batteries. Lesson learned. There is a lot to enjoy, however – I did hit my marks (radio clock speak) and even started talking to the post (first time ever). I’ve included my all time favorite Youtube vid of Chris Duarte performing “Bottle Blues” backed by John McKnight on drums and Dustin “Red” Sergeant on bass (RIP, miss you, brother – I know you’re laying down sick foundations wherever you are). Filthy blues! Enjoy! WATCH THAT VIDEO!!! This is what crawling into a bottle sounds like…
