I have to admit it feels weird not doing radio these days, but I am glad I have my old shows. I thought I’d share this year’s Martin Luther King Jr. birthday show, in case anyone is in need of hearing songs about freedom and justice. Included are many uplifting tunes and some classics from the Sixties about the struggle for freedom and justice.

Happy Birthday/Stevie Wonder–Woke Up This Morning/Sweet Honey in the Rock–(If You Miss Me At the Back of the Bus)(Ain’t Scared of Your Jail)(Oh Freedom)/Pete Seeger–It Isn’t Nice/Judy Collins–Dog, Dog/The Freedom Singers–A Change Is Gonna Come/Aretha Franklin–Go Limp/Nina Simone–Masters of War/Bob Dylan–The Beatitudes/Sweet Honey in The Rock–Blowin’ In The Wind/Peter, Paul and Mary–Pride (In The Name Of Love)/The Persuasions-(It’s A Hard Life)(Abraham, Martin and John)/Emmylou Harris
