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!

"I wrote 'Blackbird' to give my voice in support of the civil rights movement that was going on in the ’60s. At the time I wrote it I had in my mind a black woman living in the States. Rather than write 'black woman living in Little Rock,' I made it a bird, made it symbolic, so that people could apply it to their particular problem." from a Paul McCartney interview for Hemispheres Magazine
