All right now we're listening to the Bob Lanza Blues Band recorded at the Bluetone Cafe on October 28, 2006. It's a cooking band and Bob Lanza is tearing up his guitar. We heard "Country Boy" and "Bye Bye Baby". Another great show from the Live Music Archive at archive.org. You can also find Bob Lanza on MySpace.

And you can find the Something Blue website at sbblues.com. Log on for scripts, podcasts, and discussions about the shows. Listen anytime. Also you can find KASU at kasu.org. KASU brings you Something Blue and all the other great Blues programs every Saturday night.

Bob Lanza has been a bandleader on the New York/New Jersey bar scene for 30 years. He's got the chops and he has the band to back him up. He's old school. Learned from the masters. His guitar work reminds me of Otis Rush. All raw and edgy with great feeling. A genuine talent. Now here's two more songs from the Bob Lanza Blues Band, "Night Shade" and "After All This Pain".

Oh yeah, that's the Harmonicasters singing "High Heeled Sneakers". Before that they did "Chunky". These songs were recorded live at Tractor Tavern on January 8, 2005. The Harmonicasters are a Jump Blues band from Seattle and they're still tearing it up. Learn more at harmonicasters.com. They've got six songs on their website recorded at the Rainbow Tavern. About an hour of great sounding legal downloads.

You're listening to Something Blue on KASU the home of the Blues every Saturday night. and I've got one more song for you tonight. Here's the Harmonicasters doing a Wayne Shorter tune, "Footprints". Until next time this is Hairy Larry reminding you once again, Blues is the mainstream. Thanks for listening.
