When I was first thinking about doing another show I thought about doing a Bluegrass show. I opted instead for a more free format. But tonight (March 2) on Outta Style I'm going to play some Bluegrass - something old and something new. Let me know if you like it and I'll make it a pretty regular feature of the show.
The story of Journey (or less romantically - OR7) the gray wolf who traveled 1000 miles looking for love and becoming the first gray wolf in California in 88 years must have insired Dr. Paul to include Prokofiev's masterpiece in his Tuesday show. It has also inspired me to play a version of Peter and the Wolf - by Dave Van Ronk and the Kazoo-O-Phonic Jug Band.
