Lucy Kaplansky and Jennifer Daniels
Did anyone make it to Nightfall tonight to hear these two songwriters? Your thoughts? I'm not that familiar with Lucy Kaplansky, but I consider Jennifer Daniels to be one of the best there is...Posted by joe lance on 10:11 PM

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Nightfall LTEs
I have been waiting for the letter to appear on Chattanoogan.com that approximates my sense of the whole "biker" debate that's been going on there, and I have found it. I do hope that...Posted by joe lance on 11:05 PM | TrackBack
