ray charles for king day

Oh man, oh man. My public radio station, the ever great KCBX (one of the reasons SLO Town is such a kick ass place to live) is playing such great music for Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. In one hour Morning Cup of Jazz's host Andy Harp has played three Charles's songs and man, is there anything better to listen to on this day? It Ain't Easy Being Green (I heart you Kermit) just finished and before that it was Oh What a Beautiful Morning (man! my favorite version!) and Abraham, Martin, and John, a song you don't hear much. Other artists in the first hour included Louis Armstrong and Shirley Horn and well... every song was just kick ass this last hour. Go Andy! If you check before 11 AM you can see all the songs he's played.
