Artist	Track	Comments
Big Guitars from Texas	Boomerang	For years, I was the Friday morning man at WFMU and the segue from Nachum's shabbos song to Big Guitars is forever seared into my brain-- although you miss it on the archive!
Dick Dale	Third Stone from the Sun	The surf guitar master pays tribute to Jimi Hendrix; this tune is the highlight of Dick Dale's 1996 "Calling Up Spirits" album on Beggars Banquet
Nighthawks w/ Pinetop Perkins & Bob Margolin	Two Bugs & a Roach	1980s DC blues band with help from two Muddy Waters alums; from "Jacks & Kings"-- two (vinyl) volumes combined into one CD
Albert Washington	Hold Me Baby	He played the blues clubs in Cincinnatti, recorded in the 60s & 70s, moved to Long Island, recorded again in the 90s, died in 1998.
Tony Allen	Ise Nla	Fela is gone but Tony Allen keeps the afrobeat going strong
Amadou et Mariam	Dogons	This song, from the great duo from Mali, is on their 1999 "Sou Ni Tile" album
Charles Lloyd w/ Keith Jarrett	Sorcery	I lost the album I bought back in the 60s but found a copy at a WFMU record fair; a KJ tune, although it is attributed to CL on the Keith Jarrett anthology!
Yela	Dodosya	A band from Reunion Island, in the Indian Ocean; found on the "Rough Guide to Planet Rock"
Hamza El Din	Ollin Arageed	The great Nubian oud player from Sudan died this past year; Mickey Hart produced the album and came to WFMU in the 80s to plug it
Emiko Tada	It's Alright	Japanese pianist: The CD is "Emiko Tada and Friends"-- Salena Jones the only non-Japanese musician-- on Mr. Kelly's (2001)
Serena Jones w/ Emiko Tada	Summer Wind	Her website says she was born Joan Shaw in Virginia in 1944 but she is listed as the vocalist on "He Knows How to Hucklebuck" by Paul Williams, recorded in 1949! See her website (salenajones.com) or email me (stevek@wfmu) to discuss this fascinating musical story
Salena Jones & Antonio Carlos Jobim	Dindi	Salena got her new name from SArah Vaughn & LENA Horne. She now lives in England and performs mostly in Europe and Asia-- although she did a nice album with Jobim
Caetano Veloso	(Nothing But) Flowers	Wonderful cover of David Byrne tune by Brazilian vocalist, on his strange English language album "A Foreign Sound" (Nonesuch/2004)
Bahia Black	Guia Pro Congal	I got turned on to Carlinhos Brown from this 1992 one-shot project. The band included Brazilian percussion ensemble Oladum plus Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Bernie Worrell and Henry Threadgill
Marisa Monte	Cerebro Electronico	Fascinating Brazilian pop from MM's 1996 "A Great Noise" CD on EMI; more recently, she worked with Carlinhos Brown and Arnaldo Antunes on the excellent 2003 "Tribalistas" album
Os Mutantes	Rua Augusta	A 1972 tune from this cool Brazilian psychedelic group
Mose Allison	You Call It Joggin'	...but I call it runnin' around. Mose has over 30 albums of his unique brand of clever lyrics and jazz/blues piano. He's one of the best.
Peter Gammons	Nyqil Blues	Boston Globe/ESPN sportswriter Gammons recently put out a nice album of covers-- with help from a bunch of Red Sox players and some rock musicians-- as a fundraiser for local kids. Gammons is now recovering from brain surgery.

Guy Clark	L.A. Freeway	The dean of Texas songwriters sings of leaving California; from his first album for RCA ("Old No. 1"), now on CD by Sugar Hill
Delbert McClinton	Two More Bottles of Wine	Another vote for leaving California, heading home to Fort Worth. Hear Delbert's souful vocals/signature harmonica; ignore record skip
Sir Douglas Quintet	She's About A Mover	Doug went back to Texas too-- but not before making some great rock & roll in California
Pete & the Big Shots	Venice Skyline Rag	Guitar whiz Pete Anderson, on the late 80s "A Town South of Bakersfield" albums-- a great collection of L.A. bands
