Episode #81: Move On Up


As I write this, it's a crisp 61°F in Olympia (actually Tumwater), the sun's muffled behind grey clouds, and a gentle rain is falling, so I suppose now would be a great time to wrap up the Star Time Summer Special series. The second half of today's episode focuses on the multi-faceted career of Curtis Mayfield, including his work with the Impressions and producing and writing for other artists. Star Time is taking next week off, so it'll return the week of September 24 to allow the twilight ravages of autumn to commence their slow invasion. Tasty!
