Episode #221: Let the Drums Speak


Running a little late on the archival posts due to a deluge of work, which is still better than a rivulet of work. This week's episode -- well, now it's last week's episode, innit -- has songs from the very compressed time frame of 1973 to 1977. It's ballad-free so as not to throw off the rotor blades in the turbine.
