February 9 Show: Love Songs

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so on this week's show we will get in the mood with some blues love songs.  Some will be happy, and some will be sad, but all will be great blues.  Before the show, check out this great video of Magic Sam, with part of an interview and performances of "All Your Love" and "Sam's Boogie."  This footage can be found in the bonus material of the American Folk Blues Festival DVD's.  I think it's funny that Sam is playing Earl Hooker's guitar.  We're very lucky to have this video considering how tragically short Magic Sam's career was.
