The Four Passions, May 14, 2012

I raided the GrowRadio libraries today to play around and test somethings out. Played some lovely Hawaiian music, some standards (Curtis Mayfield, American Music Club), some more amazing Thai rock and roll, a recording of Basil Wolverton, and closed out with four tracks by astounding voices: Enrico Caruso, Marion Williams, Nina Hagen, Jacques Brel. The Williams and the Brel made me cry.
