PLAYLIST FOR “ESCAPE PLANS” (AN ARCHIVAL RE-BROADCAST) 1.24.26

26 Jan

I was metaphorically under the weather this week, 24 hours before most of the country was literally under the weather. So I dipped into the archives for a show from a few months back. It may be more relevant to my mood now than it was when it first aired. This is what I wrote about it back then:

I can think of a thousand reasons why Escape Plans are on my mind. Instead, I thought of a couple dozen great songs and let them be my escape for a couple hours. (I also paid tribute to Jack DeJohnette whose work means so much to me.)

Played a show from 2023 this week, though two hours of four-letter words still seems appropriate for the times.  Maybe even more. I wrote this the first time I posted the show:

About 5 years ago, I did a show called, “I Ain’t Got Nothin’ But The Blues.”  Back then, the country – and the  world – were reeling under a pandemic.
