Okay, so my title here is a tad misleading, as this entry has nothing to do with The Clash or with their classic song "Know Your Rights."
Nope, just thought I'd pass on that you should be listening to Norma Martinez on Friday nights, if you like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Eric Clapton, Big Mama Thornton, John Mayall, Maria Muldaur, T-Bone Walker, Steve Watt, Roomful of Blues, Tampa Red, and so on: yer blues, man.
Norma's show is Friday Night Blues, which you can catch on KTEP-FM, 88.5 on thy radio dial (digital or analog). If you're not in El Paso, Texas, no problem: pick up the streaming audio here.
I'm not claiming that this blog's influence extends everywhere, but not all of Norma's listeners are in El Paso: they're found in Alabama, New Zealand, and other provinces. Do yourself a favor next Friday night (ten PM, Mountain Time) and listen in.
And, since I am, apparently, John Lennon, according to some, I'll award extra clicks to readers who spot the wily John Lennon reference in this post.
Posted by Craig Ceely at July 30, 2004 11:39 PMWhy, the John Lennon reference is clearly "yer blues" from your second paragraph--as in the song from the White Album.
Posted by: Carla at August 4, 2004 11:09 PMTrue enough, Carla...now, would you care to go for the extra credit points? Two options:
1. What's the actual name of that album?
2. What if the quote became "Yer blues, John?" Bet this one's more of a challenge.
