13 Hot Womens Voices from the Past Saturday, Aug 28 2010 

wanda jacksonThought it would be fun to explore some hot women vocalists on Monday night…coming up August 30 on Women’s Voices on KZYX.org. Usually I do interviews with interesting women, but this time I thought it would be great to have a music show to celebrate the end of summer, and chill out at the same time. So I chose some favorites like Wanda Jackson etta james, Etta James, Bonnie Guitar, Patsy Montana, Ella Mae Morse, and Ernestine Anderson. I just played around on iTunes for awhile, and the show sort of put itself together…I think it will be a cool show on a hot night (it sometimes gets to be about 105 degrees inland in Philo where the KZYX studio is.) Lots different from how it has been on the Mendocino coast all summer–cold and foggy. I’ll be playing a bunch of cowboy songs, some rock , jazz, blues, country, soul, and even a pop tune or two, plus some music from soundtracks of movies of the 1940s–my favorite era.

From “Seeds” and “Roots” to “Flowers” and “Fruit,” Fruitflesh follows the growing season, encouraging your growth as a writer while expanding and deepening your self-awareness. Join us for a lovely evening of inspiration!
