play list - 09/03/2009

finally bought the new cornershop cd this week. first two tracks rock! the rest probably do too, but i haven't had time to listen that far yet. here's the video for the first track. lots of that great indian string instrument (probably sitar, but maybe other) sound that i love, which is why i love cornershop!

i emailed the cornershop web site to see if i might be able to interview tjinder singh. we'll see!

but i was sad to learn today that local artist "bongo" barry bernstein died last week. i just had him on my show 4 months ago along with his daughter and allaudin ottinger. the three played some music from the sufi faith as part of the religions of the world series i was doing. so today i played a recording of the music they played in the studio during that show. here are some great photos of him doing his performances for kids:
