Good Morning, Ungovernables! Today would have been Guy Clark’s 77th birthday, and we’re doing the bookend thing to celebrate his extraordinary talent. If you don’t know Guy Clark, you should make it a point to get to know him.

Here’s today’s line-up:

11:00 a.m. Guy Clark, Steve Earle, and Townes Van Zandt: Live at the Bluebird Cafe

2:00 p.m. The Band: Music From Big Pink

This is the stuff that legends are made of. In this case, that is certainly true as The Band is one of the finest musical ensembles ever.

5:00 p.m. Johnny Winter: Live at Hondarribia (2011)

The real deal bluesman here.

9:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Guy Clark

This is another one of those guys whose passing leaves a hole, like Tom Petty and John Lennon, that just cannot be filled. I found this brilliant story teller quite by mistake in the middle of a snowstorm, trying to find somewhere to get inside from the nasty weather. Maybe later tonight as I’m listening to this, I’ll tell my story.

In between, it’s just kick-ass music at www.tinyurl.com/becomeungovernableradio

Good Morning, Ungovernables! We have an open stream day today with the exception of Gram Parsons turn in the spotlight as we celebrate his life.

This is our only planned program for today:

2:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Gram Parsons

Gram Parsons died at the age of 26. By that time he’d had a solo career, had been part of The Byrds, and a member of the Flying Burrito Brothers. He had also heard Emmylou Harris sing and had found an immediate connection. Ultimately, it was Parsons who brought her to the forefront.

Today, Gram Parsons is rightly considered a pioneer in country rock. We celebrate his birthday anniversary with great affection here at #BecomeUngovernable Radio.
