Good morning, music lovers, and welcome to The Mermaid Lounge where we have some great stuff on tap. We play the stuff nobody else is playing.
Here’s your Sunday Funday lineup:
10:00 a.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Patty Griffin
I’ve been on the planet a long time. I’ve not heard Patty Griffin on the radio anywhere, but you’ll hear her here. Who is she? She’s a (primarily) folk singer, songwriter, guitar and piano player who is known for her stripped-down songwriting style. Her songs have been covered by many singers, including Emmylou Harris, Rory Block and Bette Midler. She has won numerous Grammy awards, but women still do not get representative play time on the airwaves. Unless, of course, you listen to us! You can learn more about Patty here.

We’ve got our big soul and R & B playlist today with Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Ronettes, Marvin Gaye.
