Doc Studard is the Morning Man at Radio Memphis

Trust me, I thought about it... The Doc Is In or What's Up, Doc? Hackneyed lines indeed and since this episode is not worthy of such tripe, it would be best to call it exactly as it is. I have been wanting to sit down with Doc to make this episode a reality for a while now. Trust me when I tell you this, there will be more with Doc. One hour barely contains a conversation that went from being a Native American to where he learned his extensive cuss word vocabulary (you'll be surprised to hear where).

The thing is you can think of this episode as a first part to a conversation with Doc. There is much more to his story than this one episode could hope to contain.

Colorful, uncensored and unapologetic. THAT is what this is all about.

Hangin' with Blues Musicians

The 35th Blues Music Awards happened. Jeff and I managed to weasel ourselves into this thing and quickly found out the best place to hang out was outside the event where all the musicians were (when they weren't playing). Once we figured that out, we wound up talking to a good number of these folks. One of my favorite artists is Super Chikan. Guess what? We talked to him. More accurately, he talked to us and gave us a great education on southern culture. A truly fascinating interview.

We also spent some time with Matt Isbell and his lovely wife Lisa, Preston McEwen, J.L. Fulks and John D'Amato and they are all on this episode.

This show was so much fun to do and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much fun as we had being there and doing this show.

Our thanks to Lucy Hammond for getting us into the venue.

Stay tuned...

The Beale Street Blues

Jeff and I went down to Beale Street a couple of weeks ago and got into some real blues from Eric Hughes and John D'Amato. Along the way we encountered some real drunks. Yep, I recorded that, too. This is the first of our remote produced shows. This was so much fun. At one point in the night I thought I was recording a conversation with Eric Hughes... not so much. I blame Wet Willie's for that. Nevertheless, we had a blast and I did manage to record Eric playing a Robert Johnson song and there is a tune from John D'Amato and his band.

I know... Willie Hall... I know...

A note about next week: There is reference in here about the Blues Music Awards. We went there and took the recorder and had a great conversation with some other artists. You won't want to miss that one.

Stay tuned...

Taboo Talk

I can hear it now, "How dare you discuss such taboo things." That. And, "You are going to hell." And then there might be this, "I always figured you were like that." Those comments and more showing up in the comment section below would not surprise me. With that being said, just take a listen for yourself.
