The Bus Stop Blues
Episode 24 – June 29, 2025 Guest: Mitch "The Lip" Goldman Guest Host: Bill “Sausage Fingers” LeClair
It’s a wild ride on this week’s Bus Stop Blues as Kevin “Shoeshine” Purcell takes the night off, and stepping in behind the mic is none other than the legendary Bill “Sausage Fingers” LeClair, riding shotgun with your usual driver, Road Bill.
Tonight’s featured guest is a man whose trumpet has cut through countless smoky clubs, street fests, and jam sessions all across Chicagoland—Mitch “The Lip” Goldman. From blues to jazz to ska and beyond, Mitch brings the soul, the stories, and the swagger. You’ll hear tales from the road, reflections on a life in music, and a few surprise laughs along the way.
The playlist’s just as bold as the banter, featuring genre-bending cuts from The Killers, Earth, Wind & Fire, Miles Davis, The Specials, Shun Kikuta, Head Honchos, and Chicago ska legends Skapone.
As always, you can catch the podcast and check out exclusive content over at thebusstopblues.com, including videos and behind-the-scenes fun on Patreon.
