This week in the Shack

This week's show is the last one for the first year of The Shotgun Shack. I'm more than a little surprised that I've managed to keep a three-hour weekly radio program going for an entire year without burning out or losing interest.

To those of you out there listening - thank you, and I hope you'll stick around for the next year. I've got some plans to expand the Shack's internet presence - hopefully with book and music reviews coming soon - and of course I'll continue playing that sweet soul and blues.

This week in the Shack

Reading Jeff Hannusch's excellent I Hear You Knockin': The Sound of New Orleans Rhythm & Blues has inspired me to do another set of New Orleans music, the first one since my Mardi Gras set almost three months ago.
