The Duke of Juke spun music from the upcoming Petoskey Blues Festival. Featured artists included Larry McCray and Laith Al-Saadi. Other featured artists included The Rolling Stones and The Animals.
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.
