We’ve got the blues today as we recently learned of the death of a true Winnipeg radio icon, Rockin’ Ronnie Lindsay. Ronnie hosted Bluesday on Tuesday for over 30 years and gave a lot of entertainment and inspiration to many. The least we can do is stretch out and play some rockin’ blues, just the way Ronnie would have liked it. After some of the best blues of all time, back to our usual singer/songwriter fare with some new music, road trip chatter, a look back at an influential album turning 20, and we look back at some notable Sunset Saloon past performers currently residing in the where are they now file!
