The world doesn't necessarily need another podcast, or maybe it does, who's to say? It's hard to tell these days, but one thing is for certain: if something is worth doing, it's worth going all the way.

  • Bright Surroundings, Dark Beginnings

    I can’t express enough how much I appreciate this program. Especially now as I find even greater value in the contributions of these artists. Back when I was a student at Albany U, I made friends with the co-owner Jack of Erl’s records (later Flipped Out Records). this was 1992, he gifted me a CD copy of “Bright Surroundings”. I listened to it for years as the only music release I owned by SCG. At the time, I was a big AMREP freak so I had other interests in music vying for attention.
