Hats Off To America's Firefighters! I have had an up-close and personal meeting with fire. Our house burned down when I was thirteen. I never forgot those brave Firefighters (volunteers I might add) who came just a bit too late to save our little house. Without them, the loss would have been total.Here in California, we all know the true worth of the Firefighter. We have watched year after year as our forests and hills rage with fire only to be beaten back by these courageous men and women who take their motto seriously and ...

Along with his writing partner, Tommy Boyce, the duo produ ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
In Memory Of Gashouse Dave...."Hey Homes....listen to this!", were the words I had heard so many times on the phone very late at night. Often I cursed under my breath but I always took the call which, no matter my temperament at the time, changed my attitude. The man behind those words made me smile way too many times.The first time I met "Gashouse" Dave Shorey was when he came to our home in Van Nuys to turn off the gas. Whenever I recall this story,I remember the desperation I was feeling at that time. If ever someone ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Ace Is The Place!Recently, I had the golden opportunity to browse a catalog from Ace Records in England. I was amazed at the thousands of titles available in that beautifully prepared catalog. I was whisked through time as though I were in a time machine.I marked down the CDs I would have liked never thinking that I would receive them all. To my surprise, they sent everything I had checked off. It was like having all my birthday wishes come true.The show today is a thanks to Ace for their generosity and to ...

A Sample Of The Best Music You Never Heard!BluePower has been playing the Blues for fifteen years now and to be honest, we're just not finding the caliber material we would like to play in order to remain consistently strong. Sure....we could keep playing the old artists, the great artists who created the Blues in the first place and we will from time to time but there are now dozens of sites playing that music. When we started on the air in 1995 we were among three web sites with the intention of keeping the Blues alive.Recently, a ...

Good Morning Blues........'Crazy 'Bout An Automobile'!By 1953 and 1954, I was 12 and 13 respectively. Like so many kids in the United States, I waited impatiently for September to roll around; thus releasing all the new model cars at once into my impatient life. I read all the magazines, scrutinized all the ads and dreamed of owning most of the cars.And then there were the songs.The number of songs written for the illustrious automobile is far too long to elucidate here. There were songwriters whipping out cartunes from the very beginning of t ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

Music Has Lost Another Great Man....Earl Palmer Is Gone!I first heard Earl Palmer play in a Cosimo Matassa's studio in New Orleans in 1961. I was astounded by his ability and style. He was simplicity at it's best until the turn-arounds and then he did magical things such as press rolls, staggered eighth notes and, at times, nothing at all. Amazingly, everything he played (or didn't), worked.The last time we worked together in the studio was at Wally Heider's Studio 3 in Hollywood in 1974. During that period, there were a group of Hollywood mus ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

A Blatant Pitch For NPR!I am an avid listener of National Public Radio. I listen to hear an accurate presentation of a given subject from relevant points of view, not a skewed version designed to bolster a bias. Unbiased and unvarnished programming...."What a concept!" NPR can operate this way because they are beholden to their listener supported membership not advertisers.NPR was founded in 1970 and has become a dominant intellectual force in American life, evolving into a primary source of news and commentary f ...

BluePower's Top Ten Shows Of 2008!We have just run software which gives us an accurate count of how many times each show is played within a certain time frame. It gives us listening duration and other fine information. (It does not give any personal info at all).We have done much better this year than ever before.

In The Beginning....Skip James!After several months of deliberation, BluePower has come to the conclusion that it would be beneficial to develop a series which exposed the many fine artists who added so much to the rich heritage of the American folk tradition called The Blues.In order to accomplish our goals in this regard, we needed the product necessary to assemble these pieces of business. Coming to our aid in the form of early Blues product was Mr. Alec Palao and his great company, Ace Records of London, England whom ...

However, it was an important cog in the machine which brought black entertainment to the rural areas and large cities in the early part of the century. TOBA had more than 100 theaters operating ...

America's Got The Blues!If you don't think our country is in trouble, you'd better think again. From spiraling gas prices to corruption in all levels of the government, America is being hijacked by the very people it voted into office.Just the fact that the war in Iraq has cost the American taxpayer 2 trillion dollars should be evidence enough. The average American must ask himself, "What the hell is going on?" Do you really think we have stopped Al Qaeda? No! We've just created more terrorists.Yesterday, the Pent ...

BluePower CD Review....Sean Costello....We Can Get Together!Last week-end we found ourselves traveling throughout Southern California. During long drives I like to listen to new material and get a fix on what's happening on the blues scene through new CD releases.I told Lori to pick one of the CDs and pop it in the player. She chose Sean Costello's new release on Delta Groove Productions, We Can Get Together.Let's put it this way....the man is unique. Costello's guitar playing is dirty and clean with a choice of notes which accent the feel of the so ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
