3-25-23 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center

Greetings!

Welcome to this week's program featuring primarily newer releases with a bit of jazz to fill out Phase Three. 

BTW, I've released a single that's available for your listening/downloading pleasure.  Here's the Bandcamp link: https://joelkrutt.bandcamp.com/track/con-forza

(Yes, I dabble in some found sound/musique concrete type audio manipulation myself.)

Enjoy!

Joel
