Listening Lyrics

What a pleasure to spend an hour with Sylvie and Jason. It shows in the program

Sylvie Simmons is a London-born, San Francisco based music journalist, named as a "principal player" in Paul Gorman's book on the history of the rock music press In Their Own Write (Sanctuary Publishing, 2001). A widely regarded writer and rock historian, she is one of very few women to be included among the predominantly male rock elite. She is also the author of a number of books, including biography and cult fiction.

This show features a great hour spent with Lillian Frances. Lillian is a born-and-raised Davisite who currently resides in Los Angeles, CA. She picked up the guitar in middle school, but didn't start playing habitually until college. During her sophomore year at Occidental College, Lillian began writing, performing, and recording her own music. She plays in bars and cars and houses and sometimes in the streets, for anyone who will listen. She's set to release her debut album this Spring.
