    Thanks for being here for our mid-week hang during a crazy heatwave on Morning Becomes Eclectic. We gave away tickets to see Jeff Tweedy nd wished a happy heavenly birthday to Charley Pryde, who not only was a musician and baseball player but also was one of three african american members of the Grand Ole Opry. Plus a throwback for Queen Latifah and new Thundercat, and Pearl & the Oysters!
