SHADES OF THE BLUES WITH LINDA HALL (NOLA GIRL)
Saturday 2-4pm Wednesday 7-9pm rebroadcast
Tune in to an eclectic mix of blues music from every era and all styles of blues including Delta, country, rock and gospel. Blues from all over the world with lots of New Orleans music, brought to you by your host "NOLAGirl".
Although Linda grew up in El Paso, TX, she calls New Orleans, LA home, living there 30 years before retiring in Las Cruces. In New Orleans, Linda worked as an event planner and prior to that, called Miami, FL home back in the mid 80’s. During that time, Linda had her own production company doing special events and producing The Miami Blues Cruise, a blues show on inland water cruising boats. Acts such as KoKo Taylor, The Nighthawks, Sonny Landreth, CJ Chenier and local and regional blues artists from up and down the Eastern Seaboard performed on The Blues Cruise shows. The radio show Shades of the Blues made its debut in Miami on WDNA, Community Radio.
Linda retired in Las Cruces eleven years ago and, when the call came out for KTAL show proposals, it seemed like the perfect time to reprise the show on community radio right here In Las Cruces. Linda serves on the board of KTAL as well as Chairman of the Program Advisory Board and Special Events coordinator for the station.
