Do you know who this fellow is? He’s Klaypole Aloysius Boland, known to his family and friends as “Clay.” You’ll hear about his extremely busy life and hear three of his compositions in the first segment of this week’s edition of the show. In other segments we’ll play some “tantalizing” records, take a musical trip to the Onyx Club, get down and get into the spirit of Halloween.  

There’s lots of great music and interesting information, so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and be magically transported back to a different–and we think better–musical era.   Click on the audio player above to listen streaming online and/or download the show for listening at your convenience.
