John Porter

There will be a lot of music that you will immediately recognize and a few that are more obscure, but I think the two hours of fun I’ve planned will put you in the mood to be ready for the ghosties, ghoulies, and long-legged beasties that will be stopping by your door the next day.

It's going to be a great time and you won’t even need to make a reservation. Heck, you don’t even need a ticket. Just show up and we’ll go on tour!

Henry Cook and I hope you will join us this Saturday night, October 22, at 9:00 as we uncork another classic edition of Time For The Blues! We’ve got some great blues coming your way and some amazing guitar work that is sure to make your night.

One day, blues archaeologists are going to excavate Henry’s office and find a treasure trove of material. Every so often he gets a wild hair and starts to organize his office, only to get distracted by his day-to-day duties of keeping our stations on the air.

On John’s Porch this Sunday morning, October 16th we’re going to look at songs that say “hello” or “goodbye.” While I always try to stay on the positive side (hello), there are a lot more songs that fall on the negative side (goodbye). It’s easier to write about the finality of a situation than the beginning.

Henry Cook and I hope you will join us on Time For The Blues this Saturday night, October 8th, at 9:00 p.m. as we present another classic retro show of great blues.

This week on John’s Porch, we’re going to investigate this elusive and demanding part of all our lives. We have timely songs in the first hour from Ray Cardwell, Colin Hay, Becky Buller, Jimmy Dawkins with Otis Rush, Whitney Shay and more. We’ll have the time of our lives listening to this hour of great music.

I thought it would be fun to celebrate the road and those who wander down them. We’re not going to follow the yellow brick road to Oz, just simple roads that may take us from here to there. Some roads may not even be physical, just metaphorical.

The moon has long since stirred the imagination of poets, songwriters, and novelists. We might as well join them and sample the fruits of their labors. I will admit that growing up in the days of the space race, my imagination was also piqued, and I’ve never lost my love of exploring the heavens.

Henry Cook and I hope you will join us this Saturday night, September 24th, for a special edition of Time For The Blues. Every so often we get so caught up in bringing you new blues, we forget that some listeners don’t know about the great men and women who built the blues.
