Listen to Funky Fridays with Phil, special guest Mary Witt of The O-Tones! Mary is thrilled to be a guest on Phil’s Friday night show that she often enjoys on the radio. Phil Straub will play some of Mary’s favorite funk and soul songs and they will talk about those tunes as well as anything else that comes up. WRSI, 93.9 from 6 – 9 pm.
Mary Witt grew up in NC listening to funk and soul and R&B on her round orange transistor radio with a chain. She practiced her dance moves in front of the picture window where only the wild animals on the farm could see her. She didn’t fit in the in-crowd, but this music transported her to a place where she could dance and groove to the funky music. When she started playing bass at age 30, she got to delve into the grooves that had been inside of her since junior high. Mary loves being part of the rhythm section as well as singing funky and soulful vocals in The O-Tones.
