Accordion Noir radio playlist 2020-12-09: Leaning In To The End

AccNoir 2020-12-09

Airborne by Jody Frankel. This must be from Dale Chihuly’s Collections Cafe.

Bruce is starting to get into a festive frame of mind, which is fine — there are so many excuses to celebrate, even if you are of no religious denomination, the imminent end of the accursed year 2020 should be sufficient cause! Anyhow, this is reflected in last night’s episode of our weekly hour-long Accordion Noir radio program aired through CFRO Co-Op Community Radio, 100.5 fm in Vancouver. But to our online friends — if your Apple or Android podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to its availability yet, you can enjoy listening to this week’s episode as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive.  Here’s its playlist:
