This Week's Playlist & Podcast

This week we switched gears to summer replacement mode-- so it was Episode #101 of The Idiosyncratic History of Rock and Roll (instead of Dr. John's Record Shelf) on the air. It was our annual Memorial Show, paying tribute to some of the fallen heroes of popular music who passed away over the last year.  Below you can see a list of the songs played (honored figures in parentheses, if not the title artist), and to hear a recording of the entire broadcast, just click here.
