Year 3 for Melting Pot was an interesting one. Quite a bit of it was marked by missed opportunities. Coming into April, we’d only had 2 live performances plus a few guest DJ sessions. April more than made up for the drought of guests earlier in the year with some of the best in our 3 year run. You’ll hear individual tracks from Lady, Hot 8 Brass and Chicano Batman, as well as excerpts of the Guest DJ sessions from DJ Spinna and Kenny Dope. During the first hour we replayed the amazing interview and performance from King and for the second hour we revisited the interview with Shuggie Otis. I’m looking forward to year #4, I think we’ll have our best year yet in terms of interviews and performances and hopefully a few more surprises as well. Thank you to everyone who has supported the radio show over the past three years. Keep spreading the word and I’ll make sure that music continues to move you!
