Galaxy Girl – 20210204 – Happy Black History Month

Thu, Feb 4, 2021

Happy Black History Month!
My friend Kelly gave me a challenge this year to go all out on representing Black music in each show this month, so I’m going to do my best to meet that challenge! I’ve been scouring my music resources to find fun, funky, quirky, soulful, garagey tunes that fit the bill. Some songs you’ve heard here before, and some songs that are new to me. Thanks for listening!
