This Island Earth
Sunday December 11th, 2016 with PeterB
Brazilian jazz, experimental Indian music, big beats, Gaia. And, of course, some tubas.

Today's This Island Earth mis-adventure is driven by a few deep dives, politics around the sad state of the planet right at this time. And some happy beats to keep us going forward. Please hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd love to hear from you!!

What an eclectic mix! Where is the 'rant on' button on the board? Those of us with disabilities could use one of those (smile!). off to a Christmas dinner--will listen en route.
