At the youthful age of 93, this week’s guest, Bob Stroger is quite possibly the oldest still touring musician in the Blues. Join host Jim Ervin as he and Bob discuss his early years in Chicago, where his home shared a common back entrance with the Legendary Silvio’s. It was that first trip to Europe that caused Bob to make it official; he was going to spend his life making music, which was not bad, given the fact he started our as ‘and old man’ at the age of 21. The 2011 and 2013 BMA Best Bassist, and 2023 Blues Blast Awards ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ winner, Bob Stroger THIS WEEK on Time Signatures!
