Episode 25 (October 2018)

I'm very excited about this episode, for a few reasons. To celebrate my 60th birthday I put on a benefit for the non-profit organisation The Music Settlement, which offers early childhood education and music therapy, as well as a number of other programmes for people of all ages designed around music and the arts. So I'm starting the episode with the performers who donated their time for this worthy cause, VICTOR SAMALOT, DEREK DePRATOR AND EVAN KLEVE, JOE ROLLIN PORTER, ALAN GRANDY, CARLOS JONES and ALEX BEVAN, who stepped in when CHARLIE WIENER had to drop out. Then, I owe a true debt of gratitude to Frank Mauceri from Smog Veil records for some incredible early Cleveland underground and blues that has never aired in public before. And the usual assortment of older and newer artists of different musical styles. Pay attention to Rachel Shortt - she's a new find and really amazing.
