Listening is enhanced with headphones!

88: "Fairies and Astronauts" [w/ Andrew Claassen], ft Landon Heavener and Josh Ayers, and "These Are The Good Old Days" ft members of Ears to the Ground Family (Dimitris Campos and Nichole Barrows)

Episode 88: Some thoughts on the already and the not yet.  This is the last episode of season 5.  Next week we'll start season six with a couple of holiday favorites and then see what takes shape after that!  Also next week, hopefully I'll be launching a holiday album, most likely entitled Happy Early Birthday Jesus. 

Many thanks to Andrew, Landon, and Josh... I really dig today's first song!  (And of course I love the second song too, which sounds great because of the harmonies of Dimitris and Nichole)...
