Breakdown: March 31st on KPFK’s Melting Pot

All vinyl yesterday on the double bill holiday Sunday for Easter and Cesar Chavez Day. Also threw in a birthday song for Gil Scott Heron. The rest is a blur since I never plan out these all-vinyl affairs and a lot of times I’m switching out records just before I have to bring them up live into the mix. For the most part I think things worked out nicely, probably my favorite moment of serendipity was going from Canned Heat to the New York Dolls…hope you enjoy the show too.
