In hour 1, we'll hear the voices of youth extolling the virtues of James Brown and urging parents to "Trust Your Child." We'll hear Chris Kenner's impassioned plea to "Fumigate Funky Broadway" and hear some fascinating and strange rhythms from Moondog. In hour 2, we'll continue with funk, soul, and jazz, break for a set hosted by late great WERU DJ Charlie Oldham, and stretch out with Gil Scott-Heron.
