·1 hr 21 min·5 clips

Bandana Blues replays a lost 2005 episode with Beardo and Spinner, unavailable online for years.

The episode begins with the host explaining that due to production constraints, they are airing a repeat of show number 90 from April 2005, which has been offline for a long time. This archival episode marks the transition to a new CD-quality format for the podcast, which started in 1999. The show features a mix of blues covers, starting with Al Copley's 'Automatic Overdrive' from 1989. Spinner's segment is highlighted as focusing exclusively on blues from Holland, described with humorous cultural references. The playlist includes covers by artists like Tom Principato, Whispering Smith, and the Paladins, with origins traced to musicians such as Sonny Lanthor and Eddie Hinton. Beardo's LP section features a cover of '16 Tons' by Mark Wenner and Switchblade, with personal anecdotes about acquiring the record. The host then discusses the term 'Podsafe,' explaining it refers to music not affiliated with the RIAA, often from independent artists. Beardo argues that blues musicians are generally supportive of being played on shows like his, dismissing fears of legal issues. He emphasizes that the show operates out of passion, not profit, and aims to introduce listeners to new music. Shout-outs are given to other blues broadcasters like The Roadhouse and Dave Raven, promoting a sense of community. The episode includes music from the King Baumgart Blues Band and Guy Forsythe, with reminders about resources like Blues Wax magazine. Updates are provided on upcoming events, including the 15th annual Bandana Blues gig and the impending end of Live 365 streaming. Listeners are directed to BandanaBlues.com for playlists, emails, and podcast downloads, with a teaser for a special future episode.
