On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Sean McCann! It’s always a blast to connect with someone I’ve known for years, and especially around the occasion of their first-ever opera. In this case, Sean’s latest, “The Leopard.” We get into that, the difficulty in completing it, and plenty more before diving into the effervescent magic of Albert Ayler, The Blue Nile’s specific kind of romance, Billie Holliday, Psychic TV, Joseph Beuys & Nam June Paik, Led Zeppelin, GBV, Meat Puppets + more!
