Such were the beginnings of one of Lorain County's most unique radio programs, one which delved into an era of New Orleans rags, Kansas City stomps, and St. Louis blues, bringing to the fore a music seldom heard on the radio today.
The show spent 1994 on either side of the Sunday afternoon country and bluegrass blocks at WOBC, before becoming a fixture on Mondays in 1995, first at 3:00 p.m., follwed by a successful run at 10:00 p.m. In 1996 the show shortened to one and a half hours, hitting the air lazy Friday afternoons, after WOBC's sports talk show. Now, in its last semester as Lorain County's only hour of pre-World War II, traditional, and just plain hokey Blues & Jazz, Rags, Stomps & Blues comes on the air at the Blue Monday twilight, midnight EST.
