July 27, 2001: Blues Traveler

Blues Traveler crammed themselves into the Q104.3 Studios in late July of 2001 to play and be interviewed.

I'd followed this Jersey band since they started playing local shows when I was in High School, so to be in the same room with them was a real treat.

In sign of the times and how we didn't mind when certain artists did certain things, John Popper smoked in the studio, when he wasn't singing.  After the interview, I asked John to sign my own pack of Parliaments.  He also gave me and signed one of the harmonicas he'd played that day.
