What the Fontaine?!: MLK Weekend 2023 (01/13/23)

“What the Fontaine?!: You never know what you’ll hear next on this fun mix of tunes from across the decades and musical genres.”

It’s Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. I hope you find some reflection on his life this Monday, and perhaps do a good deed in his name. Tonight 9-11pmEST I’ll play music from Public Enemy, Gil Scott-Heron, James Brown, Grandmaster Flash, Parliament, etc, plus part of MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Tune in.
