Of the Voices Unheard
This week’s show is directly inspired by recent(and not so recent) discussion over the legacies of homogeneity in old time music.
Sometimes, it seems of good fortune to be in a time where such distinctions can be had and heard. Perhaps a liberation of some kind is closer on than the horizon line after all.
Happy Indegenous Day to all!
