Really enjoyed listening to this, Patrick. I am halfway through the second time I will listen to the rest again soon! I’m wondering how you chose which tracks to play from each album.
Glad you liked it, Tom! I guess in this case I just went for some intersection of personal favorites and mix variety. Byrne and his birthday seem like a flimsy pretext to sample his label, but I WAS saluting the catalog as his achievement! (And that the company sent a tiny college radio world music show all those recordings.)
A highly-enjoyable celebration of DB's birthday - cheers, Patrick!:)
Glad you liked it Simon! And thanks for listening.
