    Love the show! You mentioned a book about Zydeco a while back. I thought I had written down the title but can’t find it. Would it have been Kingdom of Zydeco? Looking for a great book on Zydeco.

    We have a new CD out of local music called HopeFiendZ: Songs of Opioid Recovery. It supports friends4recovery.org I hope to drop off a CD soon, it might fit in your show.

    Good morning, J! Sorry for the delay. 9/17 blog and playlist are now posted at wrir.org – today’s front page; click on the logo and it should show up in the scroll. Sept.17 was the day of the heavy rain and tornadoes; felt a little swampy. Thanks so much for your interest and patience.

  • Walton says:

    Agreed!! Where is the 9/17 playlist???
