- As Luck Would Have It
As luck would have it or Karma or the good nature of some of my fine, upstanding listeners, I was able to get some new music (for me, anyway), from Russia, Vietnam and Scotland. Good music ahead, on this week’s World Music Show. - The Electric Croude: Sonic Snapshots
This week (9/4) on The Electric Croude, my sonic snapshots are shuffled – from Suzanne Vega waxing wistful with a memory zephyr whisking through NYC to travelogues of Bob Dylan and Steve Fisher/Matthew Costello – including one of the best unreleased songs of all time.- These Roller Skating Women Get ‘Down And Derby’
