It's difficult in times of national, emotional chaos to advertise for one's lightly-intended music show, but in case you need temporary respite or a blithe reminder of what's good, here's Episode 70. It's got Ray & Bob (as opposed to Bob & Ray) traveling, Arthur Conley laughing, Big Joe Turner climbing, and Della Reese testifying. Among other things. Including a full confession about a shocking omission on last week's show.
