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
