"Day Job"
It's Labor Day, and summer is almost over...... Tonight we're going to celebrate that strange holiday that has no decorations, no cards, no flowers, no fireworks, no costumes, no special dinners........ and no songs.

And tonight we find out what a few of them do when they're not on stage making Shore Made Music......... | Red Miller - Bad bad Day Randy Lee Ashcraft and The Saltwater Cowboys - Mailbox Money Mr. B and The Boys - The thrill is Gone Ted's Guitar Tips - Legato Montosh - Know Nuthin' Fancy - Hurts so Good Vince Lee - Sail Micah 'The Barstool Sailor' - Tan Girl |

"The Forest"
It was a historic day of creativity here on The Eastern Shore Virginia this past Saturday. We were at The 11th Annual ESO Shore Made Music Festival, and with 20 bands on the main stage, another half dozen on the second stage, and local artists displaying pottery, jewelry, folk art, paintings,stained glass, etc........ there was plenty of ear and eye candy for everyone. The music ranged from gospel to classical, blues to rock, alternative to folk, and everything in between.

"In 1492......."
Columbus sailed the blue and discovered America! We all know the story of Christopher Columbus the famous explorer, navigator and sailor. But Columbus was on his way to The Far East, and miscalculated his voyage by thousands of miles. And when he landed in the place we call America, Christopher Columbus thought he was in India, and even call the the people 'Indians'. Those 'Indians' thought he made as much sense as a holiday that closes banks and post offices, while the kids still have to go to school, and you still have to go to work. Tonight we're celebrating a Day of Discovery,
even though some of the greatest inventions and discoveries in history were purely accidental...... | Johnny Mo 'The Musical Chef' - Shore love this Place The Waterfront Band - Chesapeake High John Steyer - R & B Voyage Matt Watson - Workin' hard at hardly Workin' Ted's Guitar Tips - Tension and Resolution Barbara Walter/Mac Walter - Blue Storm Bennett Street - Right Place, Wrong Time H.M.

Last week we celebrated Columbus Day,
because 'back in the day'.... America was discovered. And next week is Halloween, and there's more talk of 'back in the day'. Made us wonder what 'back in the day' means. So we got two local views from two local musicians. Interviews that is..... *First meet "The Singing Sign Man" Dean Mears. This local County Western Legend played with stars like Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn, and Waylon Jenning for 50 years, while living on ESVA in Exmore, Virginia. We lose track of time when Dean takes us 'back in the day' before there was rock and roll. **Then Ted Cathey stops by for a guitar tip, and has a spontaneous interview with his guest Johnny Mo "The Musical Chef" . Soon everyone is wondering where things are headed, and even sooner we find ourselves 'back in the day'. But this time..... rap is new on the scene. * An Interview with Dean Mears by Red Miller ** An Interview with John Morrison by Ted Cathey | Country Western Legend

"Daylight Saving Time"
We're still adjusting to the recent time change known as Daylight Saving Time. And with the recent weather changes, there have also been some fog delays for local schools... It's a little confusing. To make things even worse, some of the stores are putting up Christmas decorations. Did we miss Thanksgiving?

"Gobble, Gobble"
It's Thanksgiving week here on The Eastern Shore Virginia and we have plenty to be thankful for. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of local songs about Thanksgiving, or turkeys... But that's okay because everyone is looking forward to being with family and friends during the holiday, and sharing traditions like football, watching the parade on television, and hunting. Maybe we'll even get to sit at the big table this year..... | Turkey Pen Pickers - Turkey pen pickers Rap Sean Mahoney - House of the rising Sun Molasses Creek - Have a feast tonight Melinda and The Benders - Propinquity 7th Sense - Breakfast in Bed Heather and Nathan - Mr. Smiley Monty Lightfoot/Doc Holloway - Don't Understand Ted's Guitar Tips - String Skipping Austin Riopel - Devils Corner Blues KickbacK - Perfectly Lonely Bennett Street - Call it Home HM Johnson - Everybody wants control of You Red Miller - Almost Christmas time on the eastern Shore For their first meal on the moon,

"Cyber Monday"
At Thanksgiving we sat with family and friends and gave thanks for everything we've worked so hard for. And then...... on Black Friday we shopped. And on Local Saturday we shopped. And today is Cyber Monday.... the day we go online and shop some more. (By now you should be completely in debt). Tonight we'll try to take your mind off of the holidays for a little while. We've got Tom Principato's new CD "A Part Of Me', and it's our pleasure to play tracks from this guitar legend. Tom sent these tracks in, so he's been listening to......

"In The Middle Of The Night"
Tonight's show is dedicated to those folks out there who wait until the last minute to do their Holiday shopping and decorating. You've seen them. They're easy to spot. Not the casual consumer enjoying the experience, but those wild eyed shoppers panicking as they run through the stores and the streets. You'd better watch out, and you'd better not cry.
