Notes
Uncle Larry kicks off today’s progrum with the lost new wave song from 1981…that he just made up 5 minutes before he rolled the camera

After a quick google I found the book…it was actually called “The New Music”…

Wow, what a distant memory…but it had a big effect on me as a kid

and TOTALLY unrelated, I somehow happened upon this old video last night , a rare rehearsal version of Nathaniel Rateliff singing an old Leon Russell tune beautifully…this was for some tribute concert we did years ago.

This version is way cooler than the “actual” version that ended up on the YouTube ..I love his voice on this
