I LIKE IT LIKE THAT:
Tonight (and later On Demand): Slim Gaillard with what’s on the menu, not musically, but eating-wise. Very very early P-funk without the funk. Plus: Professor Longhair, a singer named Barkin Bill, a dance called The Hiccup, and James Brown's Don’t Be a Drop Out...and a lot more! 10pm KMHD 89.1fm and kmhd.org at 10 and thereafter On Demand any time day or night.
That's Mr. Brown.

I LIKE IT LIKE THAT!
Tonight: A special Blues Show which takes up much of the two hours
Hear a concert from 1973 after the Newport Jazz Festival moved to New York City and featuring many of the living Blues greats...BB King, Muddy Waters, Big Mama Thornton, Jay McShann, Eddie Cleanhead Vinson, Arthur Crudup, Lloyd Glenn and Clarence Gatemouth Brown .
It's a rare recording and we’re lucky to have it to listen to.
Also later in the show, a new recording called The Great Women In Blues with Lisa Mann’s Northwest All-Stars, recorded in Switzerland and just out.
First air at 10pm kmhd.org 89.1fm and subsequently from our OnDemand feature also at 89.1fm.
That's Jay McShann.
