Saturday night, it’s Blues Before Sunrise, a public radio program, 6 hours of vintage blues, jazz, rhythm n blues with Steve Cushing, owner of one of the largest collections of recordings in the US. Every obscure song and artist you never heard of, often amazing. Originates at WDCB in Chicago, is streamed from there and from other public stations in the US that carry it.
You can see the playlists at http://www.bluesbeforesunrise.com/
You can download each hour of each program as an mp3 file at http://bluesbeforesunrise.org/

Just thought I’d throw this one in for any Jockophiles on here 
It popped up on a Spotify playlist and while I’m not a great fan of geezers in skirts and bagpipes, I thought this was… um, different.

Our local Jazz and Classics Festival was canceled in May, and now we’re having a virtual festival with ticketed streaming performances. Here’s the Festival’s trailer, featuring Artistic Director Zuill Bailey:

Thank you very much for sharing this, I have been looking for something like this not so long ago
Musical snap again tonight, and the qualifier was that it had to be a YouTube busker/street musician at the time etc.
Self indulgent I know, but will add a selection en la mañana.
My joker was this young girl:

I’ve seen her before but twice this week. If not for the pandemic she’d probably be everywhere.

It seems that the Grafton Street area of Dublin (where she started) has spawned several successful young musicians, many of them now earning a damn good living via social media, having originally just busked there.
Sign of the times I suppose, but still good to see. Not being much into social media has meant I’ve missed a lot of good music, but I’m doing my best to catch up

Reminds me of when my kids were teenagers and started to get into the Doors. I was singing along one day while doing housework when they were playing Light My Fire. My daughter asked how I knew the words. They thought it was new music.
