Maggi Mayfield, Margo Bateman, David Earl Waterman
These are the Fave5 songs that Margo brought to the show. Loved 'em and want to know more about em? Here are a few nuggets about the artists' and their music.


Changed The Locks---Lucinda Williams
Lucinda was born with a condition called Spina Bifida...some are paralyzed by it. Lucinda finds that its difficult to stand for long periods of time. John Mellencamp and Hank Williams also have the condition.
Her favorite place to write is in the kitchen. Allegedly, if you go to her house, there are decades worth of ideas and notes and lyrics on her kitchen table. SHe says “when you go to someone’s house, you always wind up in the kitchen. That’s where I feel  most comfortable.’ She does her best writing in the morning and makes her tea or coffee and just sits and writes.



Theresa’s Sound World---Sonic Youth

Each member has a solo or side project. In 1985, they created a separate band called Ciccone Youth to glorify their love for Madonna. Ciccone is Madonna’s surname. They released one album, The Whitney Album, but never toured.



The Joker---Steve Miller Band
THis song was written by accident on the hood of his car under the stars at a party just north of San Francisco. He played this little riff, and just out came the chorus, “I’m a joker, im a smoker, I’m a midnight toker.” THen the rest of it was just lines from previous songs, “SOme call me a SPace Cowboy, some call me the gangster of love. Some call me Maurice…and the pompetous of love.” All the titles and lines from other songs he previously wrote.


Party Police---Alvvays
Their first album, self-titled, Alvvays, debuted in 2014 and went number one on the US College Charts. Who knew that was a chart!



Elton John---Philidelphia Freedom

Elton was one of the first white performers on the show “Soul Train” in 1976 and performed this and “Bennie and The Jets” on the show.
