Playlist: Womenfolk (January 31 & 24, 2010)

Last Sunday on Womenfolk we welcomed Ann Reed and members of the Twin Cities Women's Choir in to the studio for a live in-studio performance and a conversation about their joint show with Brianna Lane.

The Sunday before we paid tribute to Canadian singer Kate McGarrigle, who died on January 18, 2010. We also played lots of listener requests, including a special set dedicated to a Vikings victory over the New Orleans Saints.

Faithful listener John had been calling every Sunday the Vikings had a game to request a song about the opposing team. Every time I played one of these requests the Vikings won. He told me, "I'm counting on Womenfolk to send us to the Super Bowl!" So on Jan. 24th I came prepared with a whole set of songs about New Orleans the day of the playoff game. Not sure if I over thought it or if I simply lost my mojo, but although the Vikings came close, they could not pull off a win. Not sure if I will try to meddle with the forces today on the show or if I should let the Super Bowl be, but I guess you'll have to tune in at 11 am Central to find out!
