Usually this first show of a new year is devoted to the albums I have chosen as my favourite releases for the year just ended, and that’s exactly what the flavour will be this week and into next week’s show as well. For creative music, it was a very good year!!!!!! The list of my 20 choices for ‘20 (and a few more very worthy recordings to boot) is here. They’re in no special order. I probably have some “most” favourite ones, but hey, they’re all great! Get ‘em! Support artists.
HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE LINK TO MIXCLOUD. It doesn’t seem to want to embed, so the direct link to the music is HERE.
