The chick's got soul....

While writing this (Saturday night), I'm listening to WHUS 91.7fm's Soul Express w/ Dean Farrell (9-12 Saturday evenings)with guest Christine Ohlman contributing gems from her Southern soul music collection and offering informative comments for us less-knowledgable fans of the genre. Catch her live sometime, with her band Rebel Montez or guesting with the Mohegan Sun All-stars; you will be grandly rewarded. Rumor has it that Johnny Gumbo is close to signing Christine for this year's Apple Harvest Festival, subject to some scheduling conflicts with her SNL gig.
