PLAYLIST FOR “STARS & BARS!” 6.13.26

14 Jun

In a few weeks we’ll all be celebrating America’s big birthday – 250 years old! (Although it doesn’t look a day over 249 and a half.) We’ll be watching parades, listening to marching band, and saluting the grand old Stars & Stripes! But I thought I’d celebrate very different kinds of stars and bars.

PLAYLIST FOR “SEASON FINALE 2017 – SUMMER LISTENING ASSIGNMENTS” (7.1.17)

3 Jul

I’ll be gone for the next 8 weeks while WMNR broadcasts live concerts from Tanglewood by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. So on the season finale, I assigned music and singers who should be on everyone’s summer listening list. I also threw in a few requests and some music I’ve been wanting to play this season but couldn’t find the right theme.

Although I won’t be doing live shows for a while, I’ll be uploading new podcasts on PRX, the Public Radio Exchange, all summer, here:
