The broadcast begins with several Dorothy Fields standards to celebrate her birthday. Although the daughter of vaudeville star Lew Fields who coined the phrase "That was no lady—that was my wife," he did not approve of her vocation, saying "Ladies do not write lyrics." She retorted "I'm no lady—I'm your daughter!" The rest is herstory. Also included are new releases from the Osmond Chapman Orchestra, plus singles from Brandee Younger with more birthday shoutouts to Phoebe Snow, Natalia M. King, Iris Ornig , Lauren Lee, GayeLynn McKinney, Nicole Glover and Akua Dixon, among others. Thanks for listening and please support the artists you hear by purchasing their music
