This is show #75, Nothing Sweeter Than Candye!

Welcome back, my friends! This is Dave Harrison coming at you once again from the blues filled studio in the Star City of Virginia… I’ve got a very special show for you today!

Well, we started off the show with “Superhero”, the title track of the brand new Delta Groove Music CD from the beautiful blues goddess, Candye Kane!

And that’s why this show is called “Nothing Sweeter Than Candye!”…

So, who else are we gonna hear from on show #75? Absolutely no one other than Candye Kane promoting her new CD on Delta Groove called “Superhero”!

And believe it or not, we’ve been able to get Candye to join us on today’s show to talk about her CD, and some of the other challenges that she’s conquered in her life!

Along with the interview, we’ll hear some samples of her great tunes on the brand new Delta Groove Superhero CD! You’ll hear “I’m A Bad Bad Girl”, “Ik Hou Van Je”, I Like ‘Em Stacked Like That”, and “I’m Gonna Be Just Fine”…

A special thank you goes out to Jody Best at Delta Groove! Also Rand Chortkoff for his onging support…
