Ah yes. The heralded view from studio two. WAGRadio's perch on the mighty Fraser River as seen from Studio "B" (or studio 2 as senior staffers know it). "B" has been the marshalling area for the soon-to-be-podcast"Groovin' Blue 16 - 04"- late into the night and into the early morn as seen in the above photo. DJZigZag proclaims, before every nu Gruv Blu, that, "this is the best one yet." We're waiting for that pronunciamento to be declared to all and sundry momentarily. All eyes are cast towards Studio "A".

Sister Rosetta Tharpe: The Godmother of Rock & Roll Southern-born, Chicago-raised and New York-made PBS writes: Despite
not being a household name today, Sister Rosetta Tharpe is one of the
most influential artists of the 20th century. Her flamboyance, skill,
and showmanship on the newly electrified guitar played a vital role in
the conception of Rock & Roll as a genre of music. Featuring
archival performances and using new interviews with fellow musicians,
producers, friends, and colleagues, this film tells the story of a
talented and determined woman that introduces spiritual passion of her
gospel music background into Rock & Roll. Learn more about Sister
Rosetta Tharpe, her life story, and lasting artistic legacy.
For fans of PBS TV on the West Coast of Canada & America's Pacific North West the KCTS 9 guide tells us that "SISTER ROSETTA THARPE: The Godmother of Rock & Roll" is showing at 11:00 pm PST on Friday, February 12th on "American Masters".

KING" on the same station @ 9:00 pm / Monday, Feb. 15th - repeats 2/19 @ 4:00 a.m. ALSO @ 9:00 pm on Feb. 29th [repeating @ 2:00 a.m. on the 30th] - "Fats Domino: American Masters" [check local PBS listings in your area].
