through songs & words of inspiration.

(MLK...transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood)
 1.  Chambers Brothers- People Get Ready
(MLK on non-violence)
 2.  Solomon Burke- I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel To Be Free)
(MLK-We Shall Overcome...)
 3.  Toots and The Maytals- We Shall Overcome

[RGMike]

Sounds like we're *live*.

"Injustice anywhere is a treat to justice everywhere" --> live U2 "Pride...."

[RGMike]

MLK "Silence is Betrayal" -- Impressions "People Get Ready".

[RGMike]

Chrissie/Moodswings/MLK mix.

Chrissie/Moodswings/MLK mix.

I once listened to this on my Discman, walking around the Lincoln Memorial.  Goosebump city!
BOS so far, if somewhat predictable coming from me.

Well cut off mah legs and call me shorty.

Hearing her say she was "mixing it up live" at the top fooled me. And many others, I'll wager.

Hey all - darn, forgot to listen to this one today. If anybody happens to tape it / record an MP3 version on Saturday, would appreciate a link, as it appears the last time KFOG posted an archived 10@10 to Mixcloud was August 2015. :-{

(I suppose I can try to jury-rig the one or two portable FM radios we have to my Mac, but then I have to remember to wake up and get the sound recording app thing and uuuuuugh. I'm getting too old for this, clearly. :-)

Also, hey, long time no post. :-}
