Really enjoyed this show- great musicians talking about their early years and commentary on changes over the years. My spirit has always aligned with this music - "always for pleasure" is a deep true thing - it lifts us up! I loved the short conversations interspersed with performances and other recordings. I'm also digging into other articles in your stacks and I find many ideas & feelings that resonate, as well as researched topics and historical context of dissident views. Thanks for putting things out there!! Thank you also for your encouraging and kind response to my previous comment. We'll see how well I can imagine having the stamina for a trip down there in August. I was there in Aug 2005, leaving just two days before Katrina hit. Also in 2010 for the 5 year commemoration at the location of the levee break (the unofficial tribute to those who lost their lives and homes)and the big March afterwards. It's 95 here but low humidity. Again, thank you!! And it'll be great to hear Part 2.
