The GUITAR GRIND shines a spotlight on Southern Missouri's King of Strings - Steve Cropper
LADIES WHO SWING THE BAND tells the tale of Cab's older sister and prime influence- Blanche Calloway
And a one off segment ZITHERING HEIGHTS with the man behind "THE THIRD MAN THEME" - Anton Karas
Just like in radio broadcasting, Jason will "backsell" each set, providing insightful commentary and anecdotes that illuminate the history, influences, and cultural significance of the music you're hearing.
