Just wanted to extend a huge "thank you" to Dawna Hammers for being a great sport and her saintly patience as I attempted to deal with the technical setup for a live performance in the "middle studio" of WWPV. Something we don't do as often as we would like but hopefully we will more often in the future.
Dawna brought her keyboard and shared her original music, two unreleased songs performed live in-studio (Vermont radio debut) along three tracks from her two previous releases, Melody & Deep Inside. We started her in-studio visit with a recording of her "Streets Full of Blues" which another local Vermont Blues artist, Greg Izor who contribute his blues harp talents to this great song.
Another extra bonus, Allison Morse, the Host of one of the premier WWPV world music show "Global Groove" , played another track from Dawna's 2003 release, Melody titled "One Spirit" featuring the vocals and drumming of world-famous Master Drummer Babatunde Olatunji. Allison's show is a perfect compliment and follow-on to my show. Thank you! Allison not only does a great show but it is the first show that comes to mind when you say the phrase "WWPV, Radio That Makes You Smart"
I hope your tune into the show tomorrow (April 8). We have some great new music (but of course.. ;-) ) , funky-Blues-R&B from Greyboy Allstars, new Blues from a well-know British recording star, Joan Armatrading and some new tunes from Ruthie Foster including a great version of "People Grinning in your Face". (Big Thanks to KRVM's "Breakfast With The Blues" Sunday host, BoogieKing Steve for keeping me up to speed on Ruthie's new CD...he knows that I love Ruthie Foster)
See Ya In The Funny Papers!
