4-15-23 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center - Greatest Hits!, Vol. 1 (...as in percussion.)

Greetings!

As long time listeners might have figured out, I'm quite fond of percussion based music in all it's forms.  So, today's program will give you a taste of  music spanning in time from historically classic percussion compositions to contemporary pieces in multiple genres.  Considering the pile of music I couldn't fit into today's show, Greatest Hits!, Vol. 2 should appear not too far down the road.

Enjoy!

Joel
