The Chinese Lunar New Year brings us the Year of the Rabbit, so there are songs from Bright Eyes, The Cramps, Elton John and T. Rex about our long-eared friends.

But back to the studio after two weeks away means catching up on the recent deaths of David Crosby and Jeff Beck — who are celebrated by their affiliation in ornithological groups; the former in the Byrds, the latter in The Yardbirds.

More recent work is included from both — Crosby working with Sarah Jarosz; Beck with, er, Johnny Depp. But he also had a mutually satisfying relationship with Stevie Wonder. 

Had a song from the late Lisa Marie Presley, from her T Bone Burnett-produced album, but botched an intended salute to Gordy Haron from The Whispers. Snuck in a Tex Rubiniwicz tune just because he came out of retirement to do a show in D.C. 

Here’s the link to the entire broadcast. The setlist follows:
