Mighty Mo Rodgers on Blues Is My Wailin Wall from GRP Records. My Wailin' Wall is my personal favorite. Another personal favorite is Big Bill Broonzy's Trouble In Mind on Smithsonian Folkways. Trouble In Mind is one of the better Broonzy collections, with a beautiful voice and soulful country blues guitar combined with passionate lyrics from a difficult past. Juliette wants everyone to remember the Blues Cruises this month.
Tickets go very fast, so call soon.
Support for public radio is also provided by Underwriting is the name the FCC has given to announcements acknowledging public radio's supporters from the business community. It really applies to any kind of support given the station by a business or corporation. Funding can come from a large corporation like Microsoft or a small coffee shop. It can also come from professional groups like physicians or it can come from arts organizations. Listener Contributions are the single largest source of KPLU's funding, however they do not keep up with the growing expenses of running a public radio station in Western Washington, thus we look to our underwriters or business supporters to help with our funding.
