Etta James was inducted in the 'Rock n Roll Hall of Fame' in 1993. Afterwards she pronounced, "They got this shit backwards, it should be the 'R&B Hall of Fame,' where Blacks decide which white rockers deserve to get in."

Great show as usual! It was funny to hear your surprise that Caprice Records being a government agency. Public broadcasters have played a big role in promoting music in Europe in the 60s and 70s.

I am going to listen to this one later today, but all your interviews are great because you are, first of all, a fan, not just an interviewer.

Some of them are even better depending on the mood (e.g. Pat Thomas) or the quantity of information (like with Kahil El'Zabar).

The Lightning Bolt Sound and Diamond Nature of Zu Three decades into their existence, Italy's experimental metal/rock/jazz trio release 'Ferrum Sidereum,' a double-album that draws on meteoric iron symbolism, Tibetan philosophy, and the practice of creating inner silence amid external chaos.

The Children were a psychedelic band from San Antonio, Tx.

Their only album "Rebirth" was released in 1968.

A touch of psych, baroque pop.
