World Music: This wrapper upper starts with a sedate historic recording of the Coptic Church in Egypt, but launches into rockin' track by Mohammad El-Bakkar followed by a sad Finnish ditty. There is an ample sampling of giga-obscure Haitain-diva Emy de Pradines (pictured; Emy. where did you go?) and music from French Equatorial Africa. Then it switches to oddball 60s-70s pop - a memorial to Mort Garson, a 70s hot as rendered by Michigan's own Familiar Faces and a really, really weird one by the team of Peter Smith and Gary McFarland. 59 minutes of near bliss; or at least sometime bliss.

Travel with me as I go through the records people throw out to bring you everything you're not hearing.

I am a composer, writer, sometime filmmaker and longtime collector and producer of recordings. My radio career began in Cincinnati in 1978 and continues to this very day - I am in my sixth year as a radio host at WCBN-FM Ann Arbor. I have long sought to find a way to get my various shows on the air, and I hope that this is the way - thanks be to Cesar Perez for escorting me here. My interests run from Ancient Greek Music to the avant-garde, so really you can expect to hear just about anything on my show. If you hear something you don't like, just wait a few minutes and chances are you will.
