November 28 Show: Bands of Blues Power Fans! Fifth Edition

Tune in tonight at 8:00 central for Bands of Blues Power Fans! Several bands who are fans of Blues Power have submitted great songs for tonight's show. After that, I have some more fun stuff, including the song in the video below, which I heard in the Delta this summer.  www.wildcat919.com/listenlive
