above left, Lucie Blue Tremblay's debut album, see my Feb 2006 show for an exclusive interview with her. Above center of course is Alix Dobkin and to the right is a shot of her at the 1985 Michigan Women's Music Festival. And I landed an interview with Alix for my May 2002 show. Below, Ferron's "Ain't Life a Brook" came from her 1981 album, "Testimony." Again from the 1985 album from Michigan came the shot of when she dueted on that song with Lucie Blue. And "My Girl" is from Ferron's 1999 CD "Inside Out"

A whole array of songs
About Anita Bryant, and these are just a few from my collection. From
the 1979 album "Somebody's Story" very gay-friendly folk singer
Charlie King gave us "Thank You, Anita." And the Four Swallows
chimed in with their 45 rpm release, "Lord Knows, I Don't Need Anita."
Rod McKuen's song "Don't Drink The Orange Juice" appeared on
a mostly Disco album he produced. The graphic extended cover is on the
right. Paul Vincent's "Gay Rock for Anita" of course wasn't
"for" her, and came out on 7" and 12" vinyl and was
on his "Paul Vincent" full length LP, all from 1977. Robin Tyler
gave a loving tribute to her as part of a comedy routine on her LP "
Always a Bridesmaid, Never a Groom." And Judy Small's contribution
was "Festival of Light." See more pix below.

Closing
the show on a much higher notes than ones concerning the orange juice
queen, I'm sharing three wonderful songs from the equally wonderful
album.
