301: Back To Basics

Hello — long time no see! I honestly didn’t think I would be inspired to create another podcast, but after a 3-month break, I’m giving this the old college try again. (No promises though.) Upon going back and listening to old episodes during my hiatus, I realized I had never spun one of my favorite songs in a Little Records podcast, Billy Bragg’s “A New England” (which happens to hold a lot of meaning for me). And that’s just silly. It needed to be rectified, stat. This episode is basically a “Sunday Brunch”, but since I’m starting over and it’s Wednesday, not Sunday, we’ll call it something different. To borrow from Bragg a bit more, “Back To Basics” makes sense as a title for this one. It’s where I hope I’m headed. Maybe I’ll see you along the way.
