Today We Hit the Road With ‘Travelin’ Fever’, Then It’s a Carole King ‘Spotlight’ & Badfinger at the BBC, November 7, 2024

Good morning. First, I apologize for no blog entry yesterday; but the music show did go on. Yesterday’s Harris loss hit hard. First of all, I believe that some come along in politics who are special and I believe Kamala Harris is one of them. Many factors led to this point: misogyny being one of them; racism being another. We do not yet have gender equality. We must get there.

This morning, we start out on the road with our ‘Travelin’ Fever’ EP, then it’s Carole King ‘In the Spotlight’ and Badfinger at the BBC from 1972-1973.

Here’s your musical lineup for Thursday:

9:00 a.m. Travelin’ Fever: Various Artists

8:00 p.m. Badfinger Live at The BBC, London, UK, June 8, 1972 and August 10, 1973

We close it out with friends of The Beatles. Badfinger was truly one of the absolute best power pop bands on the planet. We close out the programming with them tonight.
