King Me: Bill Wax on Meeting the Mayor of Bluesville
Description
What happens when a local radio personality establishes a wildly popular daily radio program and then is thrust onto the national stage after an article is written about his work? Well that is precisely what happened to this week’s guest on Time Signatures, and before it was all said and done, he had been hired by Sirius XM satellite radio and tasked with helping to launch the Bluesville channel. Over the course of the 12+ years that followed, Bill Wax made an incredible connection with the late legendary Bluesman, B.B. King who was later proclaimed Mayor of Bluesville, with his name added to the channel. In the years that followed, Wax would record a series of 40 one hour programs with King, each talking about various music-related issues, his history in music, etc. There is a lot more, so check out this program and enjoy!
