BLUE SNAKES & BANJOS

Radio has always been a place to discover great music. “Blue Snakes & Banjos” carries on that tradition each week as Bob Hust and Bill Thompson feature the best songs — old and new — from artists they have loved for many years and others they have just discovered. The best songs transport people to a time and place.
That’s the foundation of BS&B.

Come for the music,
stay for the charm

Bill paid tribute to Rick Derringer, who began his career in small Western Ohio clubs before breaking big with the McCoys and “Hang on Sloopy”.
