The “Story-Spinner” DJ, Bobbi Jean Bell wishes y’all a Happy 250th Birthday America! The uniqueness of the American Spirit, Character, and History is celebrated in this playlist and will continue throughout July. Each week the OutWest Hour opens with storyteller Joe Herrington sharing these words…”The OutWest…the epitome of what AMERICA is to the WORLD…it was born with the pioneer and moved west with his unwavering spirit and quest for freedom and independence, with him came unique clothing, food, music, and literature…” These very words inspire the curated song selections. The first two sets honor our Founding Fathers and our quest for freedom and independence. Set three honors our unique art and literature. Set four is about our unique clothing and set five celebrates our unique food.
Fun trivia questions too!
