… See, the blues come from way back …
[Description by Uncle Ricky]The 40th hour of the original KHJ History Of Rock And Roll was broadcast on Sunday, February 23, 1969, between 3 and 4AM. Not included here are any commercial announcements or newscasts that may have been part of this hour.
This is the second of two hours devoted to Blues music and performers and was contributed by Norm Garr. Norm’s recordings are one generation down from the masters, and were especially mixed for contestants who won a complete copy of the History.

This hour contains mostly original American Blues music, with the exception of the opening opus featuring Canned Heat. Otherwise, the rest of it is raw, gritty and representative of the very earliest form of “rock ‘n’ roll”.
Our host is Robert W. Morgan, who announces a break in the program, which he says will resume at 9AM. He also outlines the upcoming hours.
