When Rich hosts Good Morning Blues, you can expect to be exposed to a wide variety of traditional and contemporary blues, along with a sprinkling of songs from other genres of music that evolved from the blues, like R&B, jazz, zydeco, and Americana.  Rich is known to honor notable blues artists on their birthdays and to play the music of touring musicians coming to metro Atlanta.  Requests are always welcome.

Rich Pettit, aka The Blues Professor, has hosted Good Morning Blues on WRFG since 1986.   His love of blues-influenced rock bands like The Allman Brothers Band and Led Zeppelin as a teenager led him to explore the African-American blues artists that inspired them, and he is always eager to expose others to the work of those pioneers.  Rich is a native of New Orleans and retired internal auditor.  He and his wife Doreen have 2 daughters and live i. East Lake.  He serves on the board of the Little 5 Points Community Center and is a volunteer usher at the Fox Theater and the Woodruff Arts Center.
