Welcome to the month of May where we go back to days when there were Juke Joints on most every corner and Live Music in the air. Cities weren't tearing down everything in the name of progress and modernization. There aren't many places like those left and the few that still are.... word is that most of those will soon be gone too. It's a cryin' shame, I tell ya.

Charlie Roberson, who also performed under the name Charlie Robinson, talks about  some of those days and the Joints back in the day.

"Bronze Radio Return" is a group of youngsters keeping the Blues alive and there is a review of a recent Eric Culberson show in Georgia.

Show yo' Mama some love and have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend. Support the troops and Live Blues!
