Playtime with WC Turck

An unflinching recollection of a national trauma and how we were duped by the Media, from Artist WC Turck.

Music by Berlin-based singer/songwriter David Stars

High Octane Progressive Radio, featuring Mari Starz, Tom Tressor and more from WC Turck the "most dangerous voice on the Left," and the way-back machine from 2015!

Los Angeles singer/songwriter Lorelei McBroom has shared the stage with some Rock n Roll greats, Mick Jagger, Billy Idol, Chris Isaak and Rod Stewart, and I am only skimming the surface. She toured with Pink Floyd, as well as appearing in Pink Floyd’s original music videos for “The Dogs of War”, “On The Turning Away” and also in the concert film “Pink Floyd Live in Venice”.

I’d say that makes her more than qualified for The Australian Pink Floyd show, www.aussiefloyd.com, the preeminent Floyd tribute band currently touring the US and Canada. On September 7, 2022 the band comes to Ravinia in suburban Chicago for a 7pm show, see www.ravinia.org.
