Songs with the word BLUE in the title Tuesday 27/08/2013

Last night on A Mixed Bag with Chris B we heard songs with the word "Blue" in the title, of which there are many.  I sorted through my CD collection, and came up with the following titles below.  I was avoiding playing songs with the word "Blues" in the title, but did sneak a few in, especially if it was a song by a local artist.  We heard a few tracks from The Blue Ruins (local legends) Kate and Alan Watts - Fire Up from their album Tin Pot Alley & Flat Battery Blues & I've Got The Blues from their first album called The Blue Ruins.  Check out their Facebook page (you might be able to help them make their next album!)

The Bermagui Blue Balls Swimming Club who were planning a nude swim for fathers day have cancelled the event, so there was no theme related interview on A Mixed Bag with Chris B last night.  Next Tuesday night our theme for the evening will be Joni Mitchell & Neil Young.  So, if you live in the Bega Valley on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, Australia, tune into 93.7 Edge FM.

Emmylou Harris last week, and Blue songs next week

Next Tuesday night between 6.00 pm and 8.00 pm on 93.7 Edge FM in the Bega Valley our theme will be songs with the word "Blue" in the title, so if you can think of any let me know.

Last week we chilled out with Emmylou Harris, a popular theme with some of our listeners.

Local Musos and Sarah Campbell live in the Edge FM studio in the Bega Valley

I must confess I am very behind with this blog.  At 93.7 Edge FM in the Bega Valley, we will soon have an updated website, and I've been helping out with the project.

Last month on a Mixed Bag with Chris B on 93.7 Edge FM, our theme was Aussie songs, and it was great to play mostly Aussie songs from the 1980s (my favourite musical era!).
The following week on a Mixed Bag, our theme was local musos and we had a very special guest - Sarah Campbell,  a very talented, young singer songwriter from the Bega Valley and she and her mum were kind enough to venture out on a cold winter's evening to visit the station.  Sarah talked about her musical experiences, and played three original songs. (Below is a photo of Sarah at the station, the interview, and one of her original songs".  Please excuse the odd knocking of the microphone and squeaky chair sounds!). Other songs from CDs featured on the night were from Daniel Champagne, Pete Wild, Heath Cullen, a locally produced album called High Heels in the Woodheap featuring original songs by local female artists and much more.

Other themes covered on A Mixed Bag were David Bowie, Johnny O'Keefe, including an interview with JOK's original drummer, Catfish Purser(see link below Sarah's photo).  Last night our theme was "Balls" where we heard songs with the word "ball" or "balls" in the title and interviewed Mike Chapman from Blue September and talked about testicular cancer - a bit cheeky I know, but it's an important men's health issue (see link below to go to Blue September website, and to listen to interview with Mike, scroll down further into the blog).
