Juke Joint: November 11, 2018

This week on "The Juke Joint" broadcast, Robert Barclay celebrated the early November birthdays of Little Willie John, Mose Allison, John Hammond, Anson Funderburgh, Valerie Wellington, Candye Kane, Chris Smither, Bobby Rush and W.C. Clark.

Robert Barclay launched "The Juke Joint" broadcast on WCMU in April 1985. It has been a Sunday night fixture from 8:00-11:00 pm ever since. A devoted listener dubbed him the "Duke of Juke." He includes nearly a century's worth of blues history on his program including traditional and contemporary blues along with boogie woogie, soul music, rhythm & blues, zydeco and gospel music.
