Everyone in our family got the same present this year.
Happy holidays. Play this and trim the tree.
Afterward we attempt to join with Todd Hunter in a year-in-review show. This fails to bring the holiday warmth to William, as Hunter refuses to turn off the IM on the big Windows laptop he is using to play music. Listen and grit your teeth with every ping.
We dedicated a two-hour radio show to the Mellotron, which was a popular keyboard instrument using tape loops as a sound source – the first sampling keyboard, (analog) – popularized in the 1960s in “Strawberry Fields Forever” and many other songs. Though we couldn’t totally avoid King Crimson, Zombies, and early Genesis, the show focused on recent examples. Featuring incidental mellotron music by Paul Kotheimer. Afterward hear a bit of a live in-studio concert by Santah. Download the playlist. Or skip the spoiler and listen with open ears.
Followed by a live performance by Santah on the WEFT Sessions.
