Subject: RE: U.Mass radio programs: the reality today
Just came in to a [public] computer,
having parked my car outside.
On the drive here, I had the radio tuned to WUMB-FM.
It was my first time listening at this hour.

It's Saturday night, when there is a radio show on said station
called "Spinning the Blues."
In quick succession, I heard:

Bessie Smith [her birthday tomorrow]:
Gimme a Pigfoot and a Bottle o' Beer

Dinah Washington:
You've Been a Good Ol' Wagon

Teri Lynn Washington? Carrington? ye gods, my memory
aw SHOOT! forgot the name of the blues, as well --
a Bessie Smith tune, "woke up this mornin'," yada yada yada

but I missed Memphis Minnie's Bumble Bee, sad to report.
