Civil Rights!

Hello!

We hope everyone has been getting their Olympic Fix... and possibly watched the Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, etc... performance at the White House last Wednesday -- which became our motivation for this weeks show! Civil Rights!

Many of the songs were either originally hymns, turned into songs, notably by Zilphia Horton and her husband and others, that originated during this time period in a struggle for freedom.

We hope you guys tune in this Wednesday @ 7 (when the stream isn't down). We're on an adventure to try and find sport-based songs.
