The enchanting Ronnie Spector. She was a hero & an inspiration. I learned so much singing along to her records. Her vibrato thrilled, her tone cut like a diamond & chimed like a bell. She imbued each & every syllable with emotion, whether it be yearning or sorrow or joy

SheilaB... I adore your show. Each week, you inspire another purchase or two from Bandcamp.

FYI, Pat Metheny pronounces it Pat "Meh-thee-knee." The highlight of my career was working on a couple projects with him. So thanks for featuring that amazing solo.

Check you next week!

I try catching the show every week but am so glad in particular I caught this one. I didn't know much about Ronnie Spector but learned so much just in this one show, while getting to enjoy so many tunes as well, of course!

It was really touching to see the impact she's had on music and on you, @djsheilab. Thanks for sharing everything you did. The show was simply beautiful. What a great tribute. Not much else to say. So well done and such a great example of freeform at its best.

I hope you have a chance to properly grieve this loss, and I'm sorry, Sheila. Thanks for celebrating her life.

Listener John from NJ:

There are a lot of videos on youtube thqt feature Ronnie Spector later in her career: singing at club Coney Island High with Joey Ramone, or singing "You can't put your arms around a memory" with her own band in 2018. A great pleasure to watch . . . Whoops! Sorry! You guys already know all this stuff. But maybe there's 1 person out there who doesn't? and who would like to? :-)
