WFMU: Weekly World Blues with Matt Fiveash: Playlist from January 16, 2018

Listener comments!
	♥ 8:08pm Gaylord Fields: Music fit for a King!
	8:08pm Andrew S: Hello Matt and fellow listeners. I think another dj say last week that this is the first WFMU show specifically dedicated to blues. Is that true? Seems almost unbelievable but I can't think of another.
	♥ 8:09pm Matt Fiveash: Hi everyone. Andrew, as far as I know that's true!
	8:10pm lothianman: Good evening Matt..........and to compound matters further it is only an hour long !
	8:11pm Rich in NC: Evening all, Hi Matt
	8:12pm Andrew S: Well congratulations then :) Of course the genre is well represented here but I think a show devoted to the genre is a very welcome addition. Havent missed a show yet ;)
	♥ 8:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: The Friday night blues DJ on WVKR up here does a fine MLK tribute each year. He played a Dick Cavett interview of Dr. King the other night.
	8:14pm KP: Hi ya, Matt
	8:15pm lothianman: will have to check out wvkr.......couple of others....WOWD Tues 6-8 WTMD Sat 6-9
	8:20pm lothianman: great raunchy version of a classic !!
	8:21pm Andrew S: Can't top this but a version I've always enjoyed of green onions is by Milt Buckner where he grunts throughout the song and celbrates the oniions making his belly "stick right out"
	8:22pm Andy the painter: well said, matt; re: MLK. his later speeches and writings are revelations, if just in providing a more complete picture. thanks for the show!
	8:22pm Andrew S: not illiterate just a bad typer
	8:26pm Andrew S: There's some texas blues right there, great track
	8:27pm lothianman: Wow.....not used to hearing Sir Douglas sound like that...who is the guitar??
	♥ 8:28pm Matt Fiveash: It's Doug!
	8:35pm Andrew S: the rare occasion where someone whistling doesnt get on your nerves, sounds great
	8:37pm Jeff Moore: Attention WFMU shoppers! I'm back with today's public service message. On this playlist you'll now see a link to the 128 AAC stream we've had up quietly for a number of months, but which is now advertised prominently on KDB-generated playlist pages thanks to our friend Kenzo. If your streamy player (hint: VLC is a good one if you don't already have a favorite) supports AAC, I recommend using this 128k AAC stream instead of the 128k MP3 one. Same bandwidth use, but I think the AAC stream is somewhere between a little and a lot better sounding depending on the music. MP3 particularly sucks when hit with record surface noise, and you may have noticed that WFMU DJs sometimes play vinyl. Enjoy!
	8:38pm lothianman: is the documentary Sir Doug & the Genuine Texas Cosmic Groove?
	♥ 8:39pm Matt Fiveash: Yep.
	8:40pm dez: i want this song to follow me everywhere i go!
	8:40pm Andrew S: was so lucky to see Gil before he passed. It was a free show and I didnt realise it was torrential rain because i was under the overhang. He was late one hour for border hassles (had a bit of a history with the law), But his band kept us all enthralled til he got there. What a showman, tellse stories like hes talking right to you. Would have been easy for him to not bother showing up. When it was over and I turned around, there were only maybe 3 dozen people there.
	8:42pm Mailman Tom: The first I heard the Blues was when I heard Leadbelly
	8:43pm lothianman: Phenomenal cut.........lover hearing Leadbelly (or in the band) solo
	8:45pm judy from croton: Enjoying your show immensely!
	8:45pm Andrew S: dont know what hes playing but listen to the sound of that guitar, terrific
	8:45pm Rich in NC: Thanks Matt, badass show
	8:47pm dug: what a good set, matt! cheers
	8:50pm brycepunk1: Really enjoyed the blues tonight. Thank you!
	8:53pm lothianman: wow pretty awesome brass solos !! feelin it !!
	8:55pm Joe 122570: 60 minutes is just not enough time for the blues. Great show Mr. Fiveash
	8:57pm Andrew S: agreed, enjoyed every moment, cheers
	♥ 8:58pm Matt Fiveash: Thanx all! Next time...
	10:38pm Sean B.: FANTASTIC
	9:18am Gabriel Phipps: Great set!

All the blues all the time. An antidote to the moribund, corny and/or humorless blues programming generally found on the radio.
