This is the Manager’s Minute.
This fall we are celebrating a milestone for a person who has become an institution at KGOU.
KGOU Program Director Jim Johnson is marking 25 years – a quarter of a century – behind the microphone as producer and host of The Weekend Blues.
For a lot of us, Hardluck Jim IS the blues.
He’s taught us about the artists, the songs, the history and the state of mind that make blues music a distinctly American art form. He also mixes in some R&B, jazz and more, just to change the pace.
For twenty-five years, The Weekend Blues show has been a comfortable place to slow down, settle in and enjoy a journey into the world of blues, with Hardluck Jim.
Congratulations, Jim!
Until next time, with the Manager’s Minute, I’m Dick Pryor.
