Sunday Supper: 11/01/20
Sunday is All Saints Day and the beginning of Eastern Standard Time, but those things pale in importance to the election just two days away. As the tension mounts, find perspective in another pre-election edition of the "Sunday Supper." It opens with "Election Day" by Ellis Paul and "Days of Decision" by Martyn Joseph and includes get-out-the-vote appeals by Spook Handy, Willie Nelson, and Graham Nash.
The political words of Woody Guthrie live on in new releases by The Mammals and the Resistance Revival Chorus featuring Rhiannon Giddens, and, inspired by Pete Seeger, the Kronos Quartet asks "Which Side Are You On?" In addition, Rosanne Cash, Ordinary Elephant, The Nields, and Scott Wolfson and Other Heroes offer their commentary on the moment. Lastly, we pay tribute to Jerry Jeff Walker, the latest songwriting icon to die this year.
Cast your ballots and count your blessings between 5-6 pm EST at 90.7 FM and wfuv.org or anytime, even after the election, in the WFUV Weekend Archives, on the WFUV app or the civic-minded smart speaker of your choice.
