Only a few episodes remain in Season Five, and this week, Erv welcomes some local Michigan music royalty to the program. Drummers, Jeff Shoup and and 90 year old Randy Gelispie (Uncle G) make a studio appearance to talk more Blues (and Jazz!) history. Be sure to listen for Uncle G’s humorous story about he and Trumpet phenom, Dizzy Gillespie…you are sure to laugh at this one! The duo also share stories about their early years in music, their development as musicians, and what they are up to these days on the local music scene.
