"Unexcused Presence" October 30, 2015

(Week 440)

This RADIOLA! hasn't got a note.

RADIOLA! streams continuously from my Live365 station. "We're here because we're here"-cast here. Each RADIOLA! program is sent to subscribers on my mailing list (email here).

On this program I mention that I am writing for The American Rag, a monthly publication dedicated to ragtime and early jazz. (Subscribe here to read it--it's print-only.)
