1-7-23 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center

Greetings!

Back in October I was in the Princeton, NJ area for a family event and there was no way I could return home to Maryland without embarking on a pilgrimage to the Princeton Record Exchange in order to reap from the musical harvest available from their cornucopia of lightly pre-owned CDs & DVDs. (For now, I let the vinyl be.)  All of the pieces you'll hear were gleaned from that haul.

Enjoy!

Joel
