Forget Me Nots Podcast

We talk Luther but we talk...about more than Luther..

It's Dawn's turn and the subject is the venerable and beloved Luther Vandross (April 20,1951-July 1, 2005). We show our love for Luther through the songs and how they played a part in our early adulthood. But we talk about so much more, we talk about the remake of The Color Purple, we talk Tracy Chapman and the Grammys. We talk about the Kennedy Center Honors and a performance by Cynthia Erivo.

It's Wedding Season

The weather has changed and with that, comes "Wedding Season". Ali and the crew try to keep it to 4 songs a piece, little did we know how hard it would be...Let's just say we did not pick 4 songs a piece. Ali starts the conversation with what new music everyone is listening to and then he and the ladies attempt to find those wedding songs. Wedding, 1st Dance(Reception), Party, and Honeymoon are the categories and it was hard to pick one for each. Please check the Spotify playlist, each episode has a playlist that goes with the episode.
