On today’s show, Tim welcomes Peggy Lee’s granddaughter Holly Foster Wells to the show.
The Peggy Lee Estate recently announced Peggy Lee 100, a centennial celebration honoring one of the 20th century's most important musical influences in the world of jazz and popular music. Throughout 2020, the 100th anniversary of Peggy Lee's birth-May 26, 1920-will be commemorated around the globe with music releases, notable exhibitions, special events, programming and a host of tributes and concerts, including a just-announced Hollywood Bowl tribute concert on August 5, "Miss Peggy Lee at 100 with The Legendary Count Basie Orchestra." Holly discusses these upcoming festivities, as well as her personal memories of her grandmother.
Tim also mixes in music, giveaways, and clips of past shows within the hour. Then, he finishes off the show with the Now THAT’S Punny segment. Tim’s producer Dani, who’s working remotely, rattles off some funny puns as Tim reacts from the studio with great sound effects.
Make sure to tune in live weekdays 4-5pm ET on AM 560 WFIL!
