Podcast: 100th Episode!
One hundred days on the road. One hundred episodes of American Highways, as Guy Livingston brings us music from every kind of style and genre, focusing on the edges of the map, the lost highways, the missing roadsigns of the American musical landscape.
This episode deliberately breaks the mold, and is an un-themed, stream-of-consciousness hour of conversations and music from John Williams, William Bolcom, A winged victory for the sullen, Johan Nepomuk Hummel, John Cage (discussed but not played), Henry Cowell, John Adams, and some elevator music. Marcos Pujol and Sean Street wrap up the show with far-reaching reflections on the nature of silence, poetry, and of radio itself; a credo for listener and broadcaster alike.
