Woke Up Early One Morning Blues, Episode Six

Jaybird Coleman

I won't be hosting Self Help Radio this week, as I'll be on the road tomorrow & in Dallas by Friday, but if you have the time & inclination, you can listen to last Friday's episode of my country blues show Woke Up Early One Morning Blues.  It's available for listening now at the Self Help Radio website.  This episode is all about harmonicas!  The artists I played are below.

Also: there won't be an episode of Woke Up Early One Morning Blues this week, but I'll be back on the Fourth of July!
