I’m going to be taking a hiatus for about a week (with perhaps a giveaway later on in the week) as finals season approaches at CSU-Long Beach and the radio show takes a week off as the fundraiser at KPFK rounds up. Yesterday’s show was a bit more successful than last week’s Mother’s Day special. Many thanks to those of you who supported KPFK and Melting Pot, also big thanks to Oliver Wang for coming in and cutting things up with me live to help raise funds + dropping some killer gospel funk at the top of the second hour for his monthly “Side Dishes.” Until things return to normal, enjoy the rest of the music that’s here…the next radio show will be our 1 year anniversary on KPFK, with rebroadcasts of a couple of interviews and music from the other performances we had during our first year.
