Ruby Red Mercy!
Host: Dixiegrrl
Giddy from birthday joy, Gretchen cuddles up with the Cattanooga Cats to celebrate the ruby anniversary of her birth… She skitters dangerously close to the edge of acceptable garage punkness with Penelope Houston, Barbara Manning, and Kelly Hogan accompanied by the venerable Greg Smalley… someday they’ll write a book about that boy, tragic tale that he was… first “Walk a Mile” with Holly Golightly and stroll along that “Dixie Peach Promenade” with Skip Spence, that legendary axeman… and if ya wanna get hot, go sit on the heater! Play loud if you wanna make sure you ain’t no zero on the rock-o-meter! Cha cha cha!
