One of the things we look forward to every Tuesday is John One Chord Connor's online blues show live on at 88.7 WWPV The Mike (Monday night for the states but works out perfect for us starting our day here in the Middle Kingdom).
John One Chord Connors WWPV profile:
How long have you been a staff member?: Since '06
Show title and time: Those Monday Blues, Mondays 5pm - 8pm
Favorite band(s): Roomful of Blues, Susan Tedeschi, Janiva Magness, Kirk Fletcher, Derek Trucks, Marcia Ball, Michelle Willson, Henry Butler, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, AC/DC, Queen, Led Zepplin, RadioHead, Ziggy Marley, The Black Keys , Cake, System of a Down, Flogging Molly, The Crystal Method, ... There are so many bands, artists, genres, and styles that I enjoy. Actually, making a list is quite hard especially a short list
Favorite WWPV moment: The first caller who wasn't a relative or a friend of mine who happened to catch the show to tell me he enjoyed the show . Now, each and every caller is a great moment (Especially those from China!-Roc)
Where do you expect to be in 5 - 10 years?: Still doing interesting work for the College and with luck I will have learned enough music, chords and techniques to play an entire Blues song on a guitar, piano or any instrument...maybe learn more than "One Chord"

Gail met John online (via KRVM's Boogie King Steve) when she was doing her own Blues show and we've had a mutual admiration society ever since.
