Greetings, earthlings! Show's a recording today, of course, but I'm on hand here to take your comments and questions. If you have any.

Hi Rob, The music on this show so far is really up-beat. Makes me think of the kind of tunes you might listen to on a vacation. In this seemingly-never-ending lockdown, that’s good! Clarice is enjoying the tunes, too.

Hi Shelly Ann! Hi Clarice the cat! We're starting out on the vacation vibes for now, but things will soon take a turn to the left. Some interesting jazz coming up in a while!

Hi Rob good tunes

1:23 PM, May 2nd, 2021
Rob Bitschofsky (host)
Hey Shubham! More to come, I assure you!

Should Clarice run for cover? By the way, you might want to check out CBC Radio’s “The Doc Project.” They recently did a documentary about a man from Zimbabwe who plays an instrument particular to that country. He now lives in Canada and has done much to promote music from his native land. I cannot remember the name of the instrument, but the sound is beautiful. That episode of The Doc Project would be a good listen.

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
I'll check it out, Shelly Ann. Thanks for the tip!

peebee, the first of the two Sons of Kemet tracks is just blowing my mind. It'll kill you!

I heard that radio documentary too S.A.M., well worth seeking out.

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
robert p: yeah, it's a pretty cool album all around. I'd never heard them before, but they have a couple of releases out there.

N: The new Kasai is interesting: shorter songs, a little less noisy. Almost like they're getting more commercial!

Dunno where we are right now (15:00-ish, live). Chores ensued. Cats, run for cover mayhem!! What the *&%#@ was that genre - my fave.
