This month’s Preservation Sound Radio program will air tonight Tuesday May 21 at 8:30 PM. You can listen at 89.5 FM in the Eastern NY Metro area and online at https://wpkn.org.
This show is a bit looser in form than most of my programs; it’s all unusual, contemplative (…mostly…) 1970s music but spanning many genres. The setlist came from my initial explorations into potential records for my upcoming SF MOMA sets on the OJAS Sound System. More to come on that,,, here’s tonight’s set list.
