We’ll be sharing a Wake Up call with everyone out there…no…not election day. Although it’s just around the corner. There’s an alarm clock buzzing or ringing or chiming that is bent on a theme…that of ‘waking up’. That’s our theme in the show todays as we excavate the mines of rich Americana ore from the past century, sharing songs whose thematic tone demands that our eyes open to the brighter days ahead. Dave has a boatload of sounds that include the rockabilly sounds of Mac Curtis and some country bop from Billy Briggs. That’s not all…there’s the brothers Everly, Merle Haggard, Les Paul & Mary Ford, Richard Thompson, Nat King Cole, Bob Dorough and a couple dozen others. Join Dave for a thematic romp on Deeper Roots this Friday morning on KOWS Community Radio.
