Greetings commies, pinkos, and fellow travelers! We have our first live album (second if we count comedy), Joan Baez in Concert Vol. 2. I discuss the economics of record collecting, the link between folk music and progressive causes, and the variations and alternate versions of many folk songs, particularly We Shall Overcome. Bob Dylan's name is mentioned more than I anticipated.

Also, I didn't mention it in the episode, but I have a new turntable, so the quality of the audio files ripped from the album has improved!

What with seeing Paul McCartney in concert on Tuesday, followed by Thanksgiving on Thursday, I found myself on the back foot. I'm a dollar short and a day late (well, a few hours late), and I'm all out of audio clips, but I find the wherewithal to discuss budget labels, the Wrecking Crew, Las Vegas, and my difficulty remembering names.

Another vintage record sale find! I launch straight into my rants, as Discogs says this is a soul record, while Apple Music calls it jazz. Does it matter? Probably not. The songs come from everywhere--Lennon & McCartney, Edith Piaf, Joao Gilberto, Broadway, and more. I talk translations, sad stories but great music, and some guy they called The Neem.
