On a visit to Los Angeles, Djursland-born Danish musician and singer SHARIN FOO recalls her start with her band The Raveonettes, being signed by Columbia Records, and the excitement in being the first Danish band to play on The David Letterman Show twice. She looks back on some of the highs and lows of her time in the global music industry. And she reflects on motherhood and rock 'n' roll, having a Danish-American daughter, and her own Danish-Chinese heritage.

For today's episode, Sharin Foo chose J.F. Willumsen's En bjergbestigerske, or A Mountain Climber, from 1912 from the collection of the National Gallery of Denmark.
