Barbecue Sauce And The Blues

Back in the sixties, I was a disc jockey on an FM radio station. At that time, FM was not a big deal, and most station owners were looking for shows that would make money, and that's how underground, or free form radio got started. Anyway, I tried as hard as I could to find new and unusual music that couldn't be heard on mainstream radio, including old blues records, which at that time were influencing a generation of English musicians. My late night show was the only one in town playing real American blues, and I picked up quite a following. It became so successful, a local promoter arranged a blues concert featuring the musicians whose albums I played every night.

The day of the concert, the promoter called, and asked me to join him and the stars of the upcoming show for lunch. I was pretty nervous, even more so after introductions. My musical heroes were a bunch of tough, older black men who had pretty much done anything and everything there was to do in life, and I was a skinny, long haired kid from the suburbs. They were polite, and distant. They pretty much ignored me, as they resumed their conversation about, of all things, barbecue sauce. They all lived in Chicago, where they said good barbecue sauce
was as easy to find as bad luck.
