She who Creates

Today I explore, through music, the ways and the whys of women who create. Sit back relax and soak up the last bit of Spring this afternoon. In our studios we will have Elise Bryant, a representative from the 2011 Great Labor Arts Exchange.

Take a look at my new formatted playlist, that's right WPFW is moving on up in the technological world! It's definitely due to our graciously loyal and supportive listeners like YOU!

Please listen in, tell a friend and be sure to catch me tweeting LIVE! during the show @dreaofwaters. Also this playlist can be found online at www.wpfw.org.

Special thanks to my fellow Sophie's producer Lakeisha Harrison for assisting with the show today.

See you all soon--Andrea, Diva of the Third Thursdays on Sophie's Parlor.
