Joe

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen Neneh Cherry Cher

Eunice Harper Higgins Jeannie C. Riley Tom T. Hall

That's Ernie Henry, Two Macero, and Bill Hardman on the 1956 gig (!).

Joe Boyd on Nick Drake. I like what he says (speculation though it may be) about the possible influence of bossa nova on Drake's music. Also, this video about Drake's distinctive sound.

Redd Foxx Rick Fox Dario Fo

Another one: "Warm Canto," Mal Waldron, THE QUEST.

Herbie Nichols, "The Spinning Song"

YouTuber Techmoan posts frequently about obsolete media formats. I feel like he's discussed the history of 3-inchers in at least one of his videos.

Wow. Just wow. Thanks!

Happy mother-fugging Earth Day.
