Finest Kind’s Kind of Songs - repeat broadcast of show from October 15, 2024
Due to computer issues, I was unable to produce a new episode of Stranger Songs this week. I hope to have a new show for August 18.
The theme on this repeat edition of Stranger Songs is Finest Kind’s Kind of Songs.
Finest Kind is the now mostly-retired trio of Ottawa based singers Ann Downey, Shelley Posen and Ian Robb – a trio best known for its superb vocal harmonies. All the songs on this show were recorded by Finest Kind over the years.
