If you're near a computer today (Monday, January 21) at 5 pm, you ought to take a fifteen minute break and listen to http://www.knon.org for Texas History Lee Powell's ten fascinating minutes celebrating Janis Joplin's birthday--which was last Saturday, January 19 in 1943--followed by my song, "Shiner Bock & ZZ Top" from my new album, The Road Less Traveled. Yesterday afternoon, Lee and I were talking about tomorrow's show with deejay Trevor Fought when Lee pointed out that Janis and I are both from the Golden Triangle. And I've been surprised at how often I'm compared to her, both in live performance and in the reviews. My curiosity finally got the best of me about a year ago, and I decided I had to learn more about the alienated, enigmatic girl from Port Arthur who managed to leave her imprint on this world forever in a fleeting twenty-seven years. So I read the biography by Myra Friedman. Truth is, it is an amazing and inspirational story of what the great Martin Luther King, Jr. called "making a way out of no way," and there was so much more to this American hero than what most people realize. I can hardly wait to hear what Lee will bring to the table this evening at 5! Lee is a captivating, gifted storyteller, and I guarantee that you will be both entertained and enlightened every time you tune in to his show on KNON's Texas Renegade Radio with Trevor Fought on Mondays from 5-5:10 and from 5:10-5:15 for a different Glenna Bell song each week!
