Lotsa A Cappella
with Marjie Kennedy
Sunday at 7:00AM
Marjie Kennedy features vocal music from all over the world each Sunday morning from 7:00 until 8:00 Central Time. Mostly unaccompanied by instruments of any kind, Lotsa A Cappella ranges from funk to jazz to rock and roll, bawdy madrigals and saintly motets, the ringing chords of traditional barbershop quartets, authentic tribal chants, Southern-style shape note singing, the twang of bluegrass, the fervor of gospel, the croon of doo-wop, and more.
To quote a casual listener to the program: "I never realized that the human
voice could sound like that!" Give Lotsa A Cappella a try. You never know
what you might hear!
