In 2001, Kathy Kallick released My Mother’s Voice, an album of songs learned from Dodi Kallick, who was a folksinger and educator in Chicago’s thriving folk scene of the 1950s and ‘60s. Dodi helped found the Old Town School Of Folk Music and several iconic venues – and passed on the music to her daughter. George Hauenstein in Country Standard Time, noted that the songs played and swapped by Dodi "are, for the most part, very familiar, the treatment given them by Kallick and company is fresh and very pleasing,” while WPLN Radio’s Dave Higgs says that “the CD contains a mouth-watering array of talent who play these songs better than they've ever been played before.”

The only thing the album lacked: performances by Dodi Kallick herself. However, a reel-to-reel tape was discovered in the WFMT archives labeled "Dodi Kallick Midnight Special, 1966 and 1969.” That’s inspired an 18-track sequel to Kathy’s 2001 album, combining new recordings by Kathy and her musical friends of additional songs learned from Dodi with highlights from those Midnight Special radio shows. What Are They Doing In Heaven Today? is scheduled for a 2022 release on Live Oak Records.
