Again, I am VERY happy to hear that you went to see Aretha last night, G. :) That was a blessing...tickets for that show got scooped up in a blink of any eye. Thanks for the reviews.
Now that...
This is great news, G. I hope it comes to fruition.
LOL, Paladin! I shouted out when I heard my song, "Joy"...I wasn't ashamed...LMAO Yes...I am still remembering her performance that night, as well as the significant conversation that ensued...
Hey, fellas...Great posts :) Thanks for eloquently filling in the gaps in telling the story of our Bettye LaVette experience last weekend. Thanks also to Paladin for posting the photo and video...
Just wanted to mention that, this time last Saturday, I was en route to a highly anticipated performance by Bettye LaVette at The Old Town School of Folk Music. And, oh, was a fabulous show it was! ...
I agree, too, Doug, purely based on my childhood/preteenage memories of his music back in the '60's, which was very popular in Michigan and given lots of airplay on radio stations in the region where...
There is an interesting article about Bob Seger in the Chicago Reader: http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/bob-seger-bootleg-compilation/Content?oid=3770583
G., I heard that on the podcast...GREAT move! I can't remember when I last heard the full version of "America" on the radio...it's been at least several decades. But, hey, G., that's an example of...

Yes, indeed...And, Chaka is still kickin' it - Chitown's OWN :) "Through the Fire" has become her own testimony.
This is, indeed, sad news :[[ I don't admire many Hollywood folks - old or new - but I always admired this lady. Of course, Liz Taylor was no angel, but she certainly carried herself as a grand...
I am listening, too, and, people, this is a fabulous interview! If you're missing it, you are missing a rare treat. I hope that there will be a podcast available. Mr. and Mrs. Burke, and Clarence,...
I am overjoyed that Esperanza Spaulding won a Grammy, AND that we were able to see it presented to her during the prime time ceremony :) She is someone we all should know [[to borrow a phrase once...
LMAO! Love this! Fabulous job, Dennis!
That's the one, glencro!
Thanks much, Kevin :)
Hey, folks...I hope that y'all are checking out this show tonight. DJ Geetee is taking folks to school :)...
Great show idea, G. :) You know who I want to hear, first and foremost [[Gino Vanelli) ;) But, there is a wealth of music that came under that category, years ago. Looking forward to listening. ...
Yeah, smark, that's what's up with Mavis now - indie and alt rock radio. That's how Geetee, I and other interested people have kept up with her music, over the years. Here in Chicago, on WXRT, in...
Paladin,
I've only heard 1 cut from this CD in passing [[on someone else's radio, of course) - probably the single that you mentioned above where R-uh goes into Jackie Wilson mode. When I heard...
Two BIG thumbs up for their cover of "Slippery People" :) The song was already awesome, straight from the Talking Heads. But, the Staples took it to a whole 'nother level [[so to speak). I always...
Wow...Fabulous! Thanks for the heads-up, Kevin.
