This week on Time Signatures with Jim Ervin, Erv heads past the halfway point in Season four, with legendary Bluesman and elder statesman, Elvin Bishop. Many will remember Elvin for his smash hit with Mickey Thomas on vocals in 1976, ‘Fooled Around And Fell In Love’, but Bishop’s bigger claim to fame was his work with the Chicago Blues scene in the 1960s and 70’s. Elvin talks about meeting a young Paul Butterfield on some steps of an apartment building shortly after arriving in Chicago, his jam sessions with Muddy, Magic Sam, Otis Rush and others, and his advice to the next generation of the Blues. Don’t miss this episode, and be sure to share it with your Blues friends!

This week, it’s a very special episode of Time Signatures as your host, Jim Ervin welcomes another legendary bluesman, Steve Nardella. Join Steve and Erv as they discuss his relocation to Michigan from the east coast in 1971-just to be closer to Chicago, the early Blues hangouts in Ann Arbor (Blind Pig, Mr. Flood’s Party, Rick’s American Cafe, etc), and his appearance in a supporting role at the 1972 Ann Arbor Blues Festival for Boogie Woogie Red, Lightnin Slim, and Johnny Shines-a recording he didn’t know anything about. Steve also talked about his 1964 or ‘65 New York trip where he saw Muddy Waters, Otis Spann, and James Cotton. Great stories about jammin’ with Stevie Ray Vaughan, and definitely an episode well worth your time.

As Season 3 comes to a close, Erv welcomes former frontman from the band ‘Smile’, Tim Staffell for a chat about his work with the band, which later was fronted by Freddie Bulsara, who changed his name to Mercury, and the band’s name to ‘Queen’....and the rest, as they say, is history! Tim was an incredible guest, and we had a great discussion about his baptism into the Blues, his work with an earlier band with Brian May (1984), supporting Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix, and where he thought Hendrix might have progressed to, had he lived. It’s been another fantastic Season, friends. We are looking forward to January, when Season 4 takes flight.
