Coming up on Episode 497, Thursday, February 20, 2024
What a week it was. The world witnessed a display of egocentricity (among other things) in the Oval Office. And then, on the other side of the room, the dark and lumbering failure of a Press Corps to speak truth to power. This week’s Blue Moon will be on the political side; after all, we all want to celebrate all FORMER Presidents on President’s Day, now don’t we. Throwback sounds this week will lead off with some Utah Phillips and we’ll run down the line with Baez, Newman, Simone and a couple of others to commemorate what we once had. There’s also some fine new sounds to share with you this week. Valerie June, Charley Crockett, Miss Tess, and The Altons are all queued up and rady to spin as Sonoma County works its way past one more cold winter storm and Spring promises what it can. Join us on kowsfm.com/listen this Thursday morning.

Last week’s (Episode 497) show and playlist:
I’d be lying if I was telling you that I’m not tired of the rain. February in the North Bay made a lot of realize that we better check our desire for more rain at the door; because you should have seen me clutching my pearls when we went all of January with sun and wind and the need for sprinklers. This week’s Blue Moon checks in on the usual suspects and does a little digging in the genus of Little Red Rooster featuring Sam Cooke, The Stones and the Wolf. We’ll also excavate the Americana vaults with some Lucinda, Rodney Crowell and Roy Orbison. And I hope to kick in some Tennessee Ernie Ford while I’m at it. New music abounds as well. We’ll share a new Charley Crockett track, another new Ringo track, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Steve Forbert and Miss Tess in the show. Don’t miss out on another wonderful Thursday morning episode of Blue Moon Americana with your host Dave Stroud.
