This Week's Show: January 7, 2011

This week we'll start our winter journey through the blues with Frank Hutchison, Hersal Thomas, Reverand J.M. Gates and Dora Carr.  Then, woven around today's two stories, we'll hear the blues by women vocalists accompanied by the piano, songs by Bessie Smith, Louise Johnson, Alberta Hunter, Mama Yancey, Hattie Hudson, Lizzie Miles, Hazel Scott Nellie Lutcher, Nina Simone, Katie Webster, Odetta and Rory Block.

Today's first story, aired about 4:30 will be by Pattie Waters.  It seems the pathways to becoming a vegetarian are many and diverse.  I went over to Pattie's house in Shelburne Falls recently
and she told me how she became a vegetarian during her adolescent years.  She hasn't looked back since.  What Pattie brought to the table that day was delicious.

For today's second story we'll continue on with the tales of Jaime deAngulo.  If this is your first time for his stories, be prepared to suspend judgment--perhaps even suspend belief in the world as we know it!

As always, I'd love to hear from you!  Give me a call in the studio on Friday's as the stories and songs spin at (413) 376-4266 or drop me a line at OurSongsAndStories@gmail.com  376-4266 376-4266
