Episode 22 is here! Paul has been working diligently with the controls and a crisp, improved sound will shine through. Also, I was working diligently gathering amazing tracks to share with you. Brand new music from Rishi Dhir and Jacco Gardner are on tap along with a special somethin' somethin' for my brothers in broadcasting at The Cannabis Act. Fun fact, the clip clocks in exactly 4:20. Ps Smokey McBongwater says hi.

Coming back from seeing a magical performance of Hair on Friday, it hit me! I must explore the music that shaped an entire generation. The youth were rising up against injustice. All the love, togetherness, the fears, the loss of innocence, the anger, the tears reflected in the art and culture of the times. I'll explore those sounds today. It's still relevant all these years later. There's turmoil and rallying in the streets. We still need to come together as artists and use our gifts to spread the positivity. This is how we make sense of our crazy world. Which side of history will you be on? Peace now. Freedom now. Let the sunshine in!
