Happy Mother's Day!!



I mentioned the album artwork from The Mighty Clouds of Joy's vinyl, "Kickin'" on today's broadcast.  It screams 1975 and I absolutely LOVE it!  :)  Great find at a thrift store.  Hope you were as enthusiastic as they were by their "Mighty High" track.

Mother's Day Show - 05/08/11

Just left the station with a box full of Gospel cds to listen to and find some treasures to share with the Treasure Valley!  That's the beauty of community radio - you can bring your music in to add to our evolving library so we can broadcast great music on the air.  If you have any music to donate (love vinyls and love any gospel!) email music@radioboise.org and they will give you instructions on where to drop them off.

Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo - First Thursday - and a forecast of 79 degrees!  Lots of things to do in the downtown area, but would love to see you out at Radio Boise.  The Alaska Building is hosting an open house (1020 W. Main St.) so stop by and check us out.

Make sure to tune into my special Mother's Day broadcast this Sunday - May 8th.  I'll be playing some Big Mama Thornton, Mama Burks, and great songs celebrating Mamas!  Have a wonderful rest of your week and I'll catch you Sunday - 10am - noon.
