After 11 years on KNON our friend Ginger has returned to Ohio to care for her mother.  We miss Ginger and thank her for more than a decade of great Blues Radio.  Ginger returns to sub for other DJ's on occasion so be sure to listen. Ginger
Sonny Boy Mark The good news is that our Ace #1 sub Sonny Boy Mark will now host Texas Blues Radio on Tuesday.    Mark has been doing great fill-in spots since 1998 and now we get to enjoy his program every week.  Give Mark a call next Tuesday to welcome him to his new timeslot.

We had a goodbye party for Ginger at Pearl on August 30th.  Great music by Jackie Don Loe, J.J. & the Detonators featuring Big George Brock, and Texas Slim and the Love Machine.  Great Chili and food by Chapman Chile Kitchen.  Blue Lisa and Gregg Smith MC'd the show (so all of the KNON Blues DJs were in the house) and, best of all, we got to party with a club full of great KNON Blues listeners!  Many thanks to the good folks at Pearl and everyone that made this event a night to remember.

Blues Crew at the Dallas Guitar Show

Saturday morning at the Dallas Guitar Show was an all-blues Blues event.  Big Daddy Hal (and son Jackson), Mark, Ginger, and JMAC staffed the booth.  We sold a lot of T-shirts and KNON CDs and got to talk to a lot of listeners, both local and those that listen on the web.  We gave away stacks of our hot-off-the-press Texas Blues Radio stickers to visitors.  You'll be seeing them on the guitar and equipment cases of tasteful musicians everywhere before too long.  Many thanks to everyone that stopped to say hello!
