    Rhythm Planet host Tom Schnabel stops by at 10am to celebrate Sister Rosetta Tharpe. She was a pioneering artist who took gospel out of the church and into the club, and was an inspiration for newer artists like Brittany Howard from the Alabama Shakes. He'll also share a track that merges Malian music and jazz. Anthony Valadez guest hosts.
