From The Other Side of the Mirror

On the 1st Sunday of every month I host and program a show called “Up on the Download”. I usually play roots/blues/gospel/country, anything that can be described as Americana from the station music library or, as the show title suggests, was downloaded from the web. However, as it is International Women’s Day March 8, as a tribute I played songs only by women from all over the world.

Here’s the set list for my membership drive show on March 7, 2010

Son Of A Preacher Man – Dusty Springfield
Nobody knows you when you’re down and out- Bessie Smith
Big Yellow Taxi – Joni Mitchell
My Baby Just Cares For Me – Nina Simone
