Get inside Grandpaboy's hairy ears

Paul always says he doesn't go out to hear bands and has no idea what's going on in pop music anymore. But in several recent interviews he said he listens to blues on the local public radio station. Which pretty much has to be KFAI-FM, a little community station in Minneapolis. They do have a lot of blues, and you can hear 'em on the web:
www.kfai.org

Here's the blues (& r&b) lineup:
Monday
3:00pm-6:00pm
Bop Street. Hosted by Pete Lee.

Tuesday
9am-11am

Friday
3:00pm-6:00pm
Sugar Shop. Hosted by Lolly Obeda. Sweet Soul, R&B and the Blues...

Saturday
6am-9:00am
Great Blend of Watercolors. Hosted by Dee Henry Williams. Jazz, R&B and the Blues.

Paul also complained about the production on most modern blues records, so I assume a lot of what he hears here he doesn't necessarily approve of, productionwise at least.
