Episode 2: Valerie June, The Moon And Stars

Just so you don’t think we’re lost in some ’60s nightmare, this episode is about someone in the full bloom of her career, before it has become a commonplace, not that there’s anything wrong with commonplace, which she is not. I got turned-on to her a couple years ago and was enraptured – and impressed, entertained, inspired, etc.

One of our C.I.s* tipped us to her latest project, The Moon And Stars: Prescriptions For Dreamers which turns out to be about as proper a use of forty-four minutes screen time as imaginable:

I’m gonna skeedaddle now before anything crazy happens, like taking a stab at describing the musical performance of Ms. Valerie June with this tired old language I’ve been dragging around with me since before I left home many many moons ago! Later….

*C.I. = Culture Interpreter, usually someone who speaks network tv and/or social media, and shares the highlights.
