So Long Willy

…good show this week.

We’re going to remember the GOAT, Willie Mays with his friend, Jeff Idelson former President of The Baseball Hall of Fame.

Jeff has been an important part of this show for a long time and when I called him to talk about Willie, he said he would be delighted. Trust me, we are delighted as well.

If you think this is a show about baseball, think again. Mays was as much San Francisco as Tony Bennett as much New York as Frank Sinatra.

His passing this week has had a profound effect on countless folks from fans to non-fans alike. From millennials to octogenarians. It promises to be a compelling chat. I suggest you keep some tissues near.

Weekend Liner Notes will feature Allen Toussaint with a performance from the film “The Hit Man.”

Join Rachael Shelton and myself for “Raising The Standards,” The Internet’s finest hour…anywhere.

Saturdays noon to 1 PM on Santa Cruz Voice and anytime on Spotify.
