Interview with Jose Feliciano!

Jose!

This past Thursday I interviewed music legend Jose Feliciano by phone for WFCF St. Augustine. It was a total trip, he had some very fascinating things to say, and of course it was an honor! Should air a few times, not sure when but I'll keep you posted! - Kendo

This week's show is all about cleaning up my bedroom, literally! The vinyl in particular is piling up, so I'm grabbing the first 10 or so from the front of the stack that will do nicely, and I'll be mixing them with lots of new releases, plus a few choice cds/collections taking up space; including a new aquisition: "Living Legend" by Art Pepper! Should be fun! No real clue what I'm playing yet, so playlist will appear here as they get spun. Join me for happenstance this Tuesday 4/7 from 3 until 7pm eastern. You can listen online anywhere in the US. See you then! - Kendo
