Desolation Angel Radio Thursday March 6th

Desolation Angel Radio hit the air on Thursday night, and we did something that needed doing. March is National Women's History month, and chicks rock and rule. We took a look at the women who were the pioneers and groundbreakers in music in a whole lot of genres and categories with Bellavia co-hosting the show, setting up the playlist and providing the majority of the music, all from her collection:

• Ma Rainey - See See Rider Blues
• Johnnie Mae Dunson - Trouble
• Bessie Smith - Tain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do
• Alberta Hunter - St. Louis Blues
• Mother Maybelle Carter - Wildwood Flower
• Kitty Wells - Searching (For Someone Like You)
• Patsy Cline - Faded Love
• Sister Rosetta Tharpe - I Want A Tall Skinny Papa
• Billie Holiday - Nice Work If You Can Get It
• Nina Simone - Mississippi Goddam
• Josephine Baker - J'ai Deaux Amours
• Edith Piaf - La Goualante De Pauvre Jean
• Yma Sumac - Ataypura (High Andes)
• Monserrat Cabaille (w/Freddie Mercury) - Barcelona
• Ethel Merman & Judy Garland - Friendship
• Carol Channing - Jazz Baby
• Della Reese - Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You)
• Eartha Kitt - I Want To Be Evil
• Big Maybelle - One Monkey Don't Stop No Show
• Ruth Brown - If I Can't Sell It, I'll Keep Sittin' On It
• Big Mama Thornton - Watermelon Man
• Beverly Guitar Watkins - Back In Business

Desolation Angel Radio is independently produced, engineered, broadcast and I"m always proud to host it for you, and especially proud this week that my partner is the co-host and co-producer of the show. You're always welcome to be a listener here, and I appreciate it and love you all. I ask only 3 things of you, instead of a price or a subscription: (1) Spread the gospel of Desolation Angel Radio far and wide through social media (Facebook, Twitter, Google+), email and word of mouth. (2) Go out this weekend and see someone live and local and support local music and (3) tip your servers heavily.

Peace out
