The Front Porch Blues Show
JD Esquire & Rich Blackmarr & TJ
Rich Blackmarr will be your host tonight on the Front Porch Blues Show.

Those included in this program will be Luther Allison, Spencer Wiggins, Freddy King, Fention Robinson, B.B. King, Big Mama Thornton, Syl Johnson, Rodger Collins, Junior Wells, Etta James, Koko Taylor, Little Milton, O.V. Wright, Albert King, George Butler, Muddy Waters, Al King, Bobby Bland, and many more.
