Mood Indigo – Women of Blues
What a better way to celebrate the Fund Drive than tuning in to a very sad and literally blue(s) show of Mood Indigo! Let out any of those built up tear drops with some of these amazing tracks from the fore-mothers and trailblazers of blues. Hitting songs from the 1920s to the 1960s, tonight is an assortment of songs from some wonderfully sad ladies. Also, don’t forget to donate!!
