Started with a two song salute to Dave Brubeck, who turns 90 Monday. Then a variety of approaches, including new stuff from Jonathan Richman, Sufjan Stevens, Steve Wynn, some cuts from Grammy nominated work b artists from Laurie Anderson to Neil Young. And a remembrance of John Lennon on the 30th anniversary of his death.
Here’s what I played on the radio Friday. The setlist follows. Listen to it here.
