This week in 1939, Billie Holiday released "Strange Fruit." A song that still stops you in your tracks, still demands to be heard, and still carries a truth the world must never forget.

This week's folk & acoustic favourite is Elvis Costello I felt the chill. Elvis ( the one that's alive) is such a musical chameleon and I could have chosen any number of songs
I really like is album with Anne Sofie Van Otter and loved his early new wave singles

#ChurchOfRockAndRoll #61 In late '60s San Francisco, Tom Donahue cut loose from radio's pop format. He and his fellow KMPX station DJs played their own choice of album tracks, thus starting FM underground and rock radio. We could use someone like him now. #TomDonahue

"Agri barons....... strip this green & pleasant land" " one man pays the price for another vision of country life"
often the urban and rural can be at odds and we urban speak of "the farmers" but this song makes a distinction between small farms and giant businesses
