TRADITIONS playlist for January 15,2017
The week ahead will be an emotional one. With the inauguration of Donald Trump looming, and with a day of service being given by many Americans in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I tried to choose songs that will inspire and give us pause to think about where we’ve been and where we are heading. The final hour honored the memory of the slain civil rights leader, and the artists who helped inspire a movement and dedicated themselves to equal rights for all.
The show can also be heard Saturday evenings at 6:30pm ET at www.bluesandroots.radio.com.
