I guess I can announce this…
You know there's this excellent radio show on WRFL called Black N Blues. It describes itself (quite correctly) as "hip shakin' rhythm & heart breakin' blues." It's almost a damned institution!
Well, the host, Dan Black, is relocating down south - appropriately to Nashville. & the Program Manager has asked me to move Self Help Radio to that timeslot.
What? Hunh? How in the world can I even hope to live up to that? I play some old blues & some r&b & love pretty much everything Dan played, but - well - I don't know! It makes me queasy just thinking about it.
But. Boy! the idea of not having to wake up so early in the morning appeals to me.
So I said yes.
It's in a couple of weeks. July 14th, actually. Bastille Day. For Pierre's sake!
I'll still do Self Help Radio this Saturday & the next. It means that there'll be one week with two Self Help Radio episodes. I apologize in advance.
I'm also very sorry about all this moving around. I heard that Dan Black himself commented on the decision: "I'm glad he got it," he is reported to have said, adding, "Bastard."
What do you think? Can Self Help Radio be an afternoon show?
