On this weeks show Ill pay tribute for the 3rd time (4th if you count re-runs) to Bobby Womack, now deceased.. I can now add this to the list of Hugely Dumb Things That Ive Done In My Life: NOT going to see Bobby Womack at the City Winery just a couple months ago.. Geeezzzz.... A) I knew about it in advance. B) I couldve gotten in free and probably wouldve been able to meet him. C) It was public knowledge that his health outlook was bad. D) Hes one of my Favorite Musical Artistes Ever and it wouldve been an honor to be in the same bldg. as him.. Theres a Life Lesson in this, but Im TOO DUMB to learn it.. Anyway, theres that.. Therell be a brief tribute to Bobby Womack before I carry out my original plan for this weeks show: Grab a Pt.1, a Pt.2, and a Pt.3 from various points in the shows history; a Rerun Anthology, in other words, during which well hear Blossom Dearie, Georgie Fame, Ida Cox, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Revere and The Raiders, and many more.. Please join me for this Holiday Wkend, for the mostly Rerun Anthology edition of The Bottomless Pit, Saturdays at 10 PM EST on WFUV Public Radio
