Music Fo' Grown Fo'ks - Thank God Loretta Lynn Is Alright!

RSS Mobile

Music Fo' Grown Fo'ks is the rag-tag soul-sistah to my long running hit radio show (of the same name) that for 5 years traced the roots of today's soul through its history in emotionally complex music from Motown, Soul, R&B, Gospel, 60s C&W, Funk, Retro-Soul, Deep Crate, and love ballads, plus those songs you forgot you really wanted to hear on Friday afternoons on WKDU Philadelphia 91.7fm. Follow my tweets, look at my archive, email, or ask me.
I rap on nature of my relationship with my BFF Potato; I discuss the deep and moving experiences I have from Art, Film, and Yacht Rock. I give a heads-up on my-upcoming gigs, and I muse about my journey towards musical ecstasy.

Thank God Loretta Lynn Is Alright!

Over the weekend, Saturday night to be exact, I was in a cab coming home from the failure of the Fool’s Gold party; when, I read that Loretta Lynn had been admitted to the hospital for pneumonia. But today she was released.

The original statement issued read “Around 1:30 AM Saturday morning, Loretta awoke on her tour bus complaining that she was having a hard time breathing. They admitted her into a Bowling Green, Kentucky hospital where she was treated over the weekend for the beginning stages of bacterial pneumonia.” It has been confirmed that she has returned home to Hurricane Mills, Tennessee and is still recovering. Miss Loretta said, “It was one scary night… But I am feeling better and just gonna take it easy for a couple of weeks.”

I love you Loretta. You are in my prayers and thoughts. I wish you a full-recovery.
