The "True Blues" slots (10am to 12n, Wed & Thurs) on WBRS have become some 
of the hardest to fill on any sort of regular basis.  TB used to be Mon - 
Thurs but Mon & Tues were replaced with "Phat Pholk" because we couldn't 
get enough bluespeople.

Still, it's not like Blues is completely dead or anything....don't get me 
started on the attitude problems of many of their DJ's, but Emerson's WERS 
does have Bluesology on Sunday afternoons.   And I think there's a blues 
show on WMBR as well, isn't there?
