Accordion Noir radio playlist 2011-08-24: Reggae Summer

AccNoir 201-08-24

We have fallen out of synch with our back archives, episodes churned back up and re-shared approximately ten years following their original air date.  Nonetheless, we plunge boldly onward regardless!  The only way out is through!  While my suspicion that the title “Reggae Summer” for this archival episode, number 246, may be somewhat of an overstatement… we don’t lack for boldness of vision!  At its original online home, this recording tracked some 5614 listens.  Intrepid accordion and reggae fans can continue enjoying it today as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive.

Here’s the playlist:
