Kalamazoo Gals: the Song

[jt]

I had a delightful surprise today: a woman who heard an NPR story in which one of the Kalamazoo Gals and I were featured wrote a song for the Gal. Here's the song: http://lisamoaiery.bandcamp.com/track/kalamazoo-gals

 

Best is that this woman wrote and recorded the song just in time for the BBC production about the book, to be recorded later this month.

Well, isn't that sweet! She needs to add a verse about you shining a light on those gals!

Great thanks, JT!

 

 

I thought it was Sheryl singing for a minute there.

Before Christmas, huh?

 

I may actually put together a book and CD about the L-00 and other depression era guitars. Next up for me, though, is "One Hundred Years of Solitude, Struggle, and Violence: A Social and Cultural History of the Communities along the Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico Borders" (American History Press, 2015, or so). And I've asked our own GT Hurley to work with me on a companion CD of US border music. Could be cool.

Much more traditional. The great mixture of Mexican/American music from the early 20th century to present day.

Geez JT, I genuinely enjoyed that. Thanks for posting. It was a really bad week at work and this was just what the doctor ordered.

Thanks! Made my day, too, when I found out about it yesterday.

I've been e-chatting with the BBC producer. We're gonna record Lisa performing the song in one of the rooms in the nearly-abandoned Gibson factory in Kalamazoo. Should be amazing.
