I honestly didn’t have a plan for this show or have a lot of time to put much foresight into what I was going to play on the air. I generally try to come in better prepared because I think we owe to our listeners to put some effort into supplying them with a quality show. Unfortunately Thursday morning kind of snuck up on me. I did get a few positive calls and a nice e-mail, so the show must not have been a total debacle. With the recent news that Odetta had passed away, I knew that I needed to play some of her music. She was such a great person, and a huge influence on so many people. Bob Dylan credits her for turning him onto folk music. Think about that. Her voice and her music is so moving. Beyond that it was a fun morning of playing music from some of my favorites, thank goodness I have so many favorites to choose from.
