Welcome to Something Blue. I'm Hairy Larry and I've got the Blues, for you.

And that's Mistabluesman, also known as Doc Quinn, with a very funny song called "Funky Country Blues". He opened up for us tonight with a guitar feature he calls "Freddie's Blues".

I'm playing some music from artists you can meet at the Delta Boogie Network. Doc Quinn is on the Delta Boogie Network and so is Mike McLeod. Mike's got a new CD out called "Going Home". Here's the first track from Mike's CD, one he wrote called "My Gal Sal Or Louise".

And that's another great song from Mike McLeod called "Old Men And Old Guitars". Mike is from Imboden, Arkansas. Doc Quinn is from Texas. And they're friends on the Delta Boogie Network.

Of course that's "Amazing Grace". Mike McLeod singing like a bird and putting that blues harp on it. Before that the Doc Quinn song was called "Silence". I just couldn't introduce it and give the game away.

You're listening to Something Blue on KASU and tonight I'm featuring some musicians you can meet at the Delta Boogie Network. Delta Boogie is at deltaboogie.com.

Steve Call is guitarist with The Stella Blue Band from Springfield, Missouri. Here they are now singing "Chain".

Oh yeah, The Stella Blue Band tearing it up with "FDS". At the Delta Boogie Network our motto is "let's get together and jam." That's exactly what happened when Chris "Stinger" Stevens and Rob Shelley joined The Mudcats at the Craighead Forest Bandshell. Here they are now with "Sevens And Nines".

All right now, that's Dave Alvin singing "Thirty Dollar Room". Before that we heard "A Woman's Got A Right". This concert was recorded in Malmo, Sweden on April 13, 1994. He goes from Blues to Honky Tonk to Country and back. Great stuff from Dave Alvin.
