Welcome to The Stew – Year 26.  Hope you’re having a  memorable Easter weekend.

It’s another one of those “a donor sent me off in a new direction” emails.  They’re always welcome.

Donor Hour One just said – “Do what you do”

So…it’s a mix of JJ Cale, Leo Kottke, Kinks, G Love and Keb Mo, Walk off the Earth, Lake Street Dive, Ron Sexsmith, John Hiatt, Colin James, Ariel Posen and Mick Jagger with the Red Devils.

The Donor of Hour Two suggests…

“In light of so many racial divides and intolerances  to cultural differences, perhaps a focus on cultural musical influences would be a way to open the mind””

With that in mind the mix of Saturday night music includes…

Sting and Shirazee, Wyclef Jean, Taj Mahal, and Los Lobos, Toots and Keith Richards, Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mombasa, Los Lobos. 

PLUS

New tracks from Paul McCartney/Beck and Van Morrison.

Blue Rodeo, Feist, and The Stones Midnight Rambler finish off the first Saturday of Spring.

The Mulligan Stew Podcast is very special – First it’s EP 150.

Nomadland may very well win the Oscar for Best Film. It’s been winning lots of other awards including @CriticsChoice.

We have interviews with the actual Nomads who the story, book, and screenplay were written about and who play themselves in the film.

Swankie, Linda May, Bob Wells plus the author of the book Jessica Bruder.

Happy Easter weekend all!
