KOWS-LP

Welcome to Deeper Roots, a century of America's music.

Dave Stroud with you here on Cows, or maybe your favorite streaming platform.

Well, we're coming to you from the studios of Cows Community Radio here in West Sonoma County, and it is time to dig in once again.

And I'm going to try a little experiment in our show this morning.

You know how one conversation leads to another? Somebody mentions an old friend, which reminds you of a place you once visited, which brings up a story you'd almost forgotten.

Highly recommended.

I'd like to thank David for permission to use the song for our show.

Hey, it's an even week, and that means we're going to be hopping aboard the Midnight Special once again here on Cows.

Let me remind you that you are tuned in to Deeper Roots, and I'm your host, Dave Stroud.

And can I ask a favor? Could you take some time and drop into our website, kowsfm.com, and, uh, donate a little money for us? That's how we survive here on KOWS.

It's all about listeners, listeners as well as those underwriters who we're going to take a moment to thank right now, and you can thank them as well by giving them your business.

I'll be right back with more early soul.

[upbeat music] KOWS thanks North Coast Solar for their ongoing support.

They have been supplying residential and commercial businesses with solar power since 1984.

Their website, nc sr.com, contains information about how to improve energy reliability.

They can be reached at 707-575-3999.

And that's where we are beginning this morning, not with soul records, but with the language soul would eventually speak.

Dave Stroud here with you on Deeper Roots, and we are exploring the ancestral roots of 60 soul this morning here on Cows.

Let's thank a couple of our underwriters before we move ahead into the next set, where the women take over with tracks from a couple of gospel's most commanding voices.

Dorothy Love Coates and Mavis Staples, right alongside the Davis sisters.

Don't go away.

Cows thanks Stockham Construction, a union company with decades of experience in completing construction projects throughout Sonoma County.

You can find out more by visiting stockhamconstruction.com. That's S-T-O-C-K-H-A-M construction.com. Stockham Construction proudly tunes into the roots of rock every Sunday morning at 7 Pacific on cows.

Support for Cows Community Radio comes from Kathleen Carney of Nexa Lending, located in Cotati, providing reverse mortgage education and lending services for homeowners 62 and older throughout Northern California.

The Dream Journal is broadcast from the KSQD studios in Santa Cruz and co-broadcast in San Jose by KCXU.

And we're also up at KOWS in Sonoma.

We are podcast everywhere on the Monday after the show.

Full length videos of the conversation can be found on Spotify and also on my YouTube page at Experiential DreamWork.

And that Love's journey is a reminder that the West was always more diverse and considerably more complicated than the version that eventually reached the movie screen.

Dave Stroud here with you, traveling under Western stars this morning here on Deeper Roots on KOWS-LP Occidental, member-supported community radio for everyone out there that believes in free speech and no bull.

More music from a rocky trail now, and let's say we jump right into a bit of the living West.

Now, it's important to point out that cowboy culture didn't end, it changed.
