Pete's On-Air Music Selections
The following playlist comes from my own music library. I use any number of cuts off these CDs coming out of the "breaks." WNIS does not necessarily agree or endorse my musical choices for "bumpers" in and out of the show segments, but they have not objected....yet.
Most, but not all, of the music is Blues or Blues-inspired.
We recommend Birdland Records, Tapes, and CD's. They can provide some of the best information about the following artists and related music.
Talk to Barry; he's the best.The list of CD's and artists below was created by going through my collection and reading it to my office manager / web mistress / surf buddy / dance partner / girlfriend....So please, don't read too much into their order.
