Don't like to think of the family dynamics after the record was released as "Nancy Jacobs and her sisters"... "Oh, we're just 'Nancy's sisters,' is that all? I guess we don't even have names, not like the great Nancy!"

I'm not sure I can properly convey the magnitude of Chris Albertyn's generosity. For more than a decade he shared, via the blog Electric Jive, hundreds upon hundreds of rare and miraculous South African musical offerings. (And wonders from elsewhere on the continent as well.) Along with the music was smart, comprehensive historical detail and commentary. It has enriched my life personally (and this radio show) so monumentally. To have Chris join me on this show is a dream come true.
