This show is dedicated to the Sperling Family and the memory of Michael ‘Spatz’ Sperling, who passed away last week. AMERICAN HIGHWAYS #97: FAREWELL
In this episode of American Highways, pianist Guy Livingston brings us music inspired by his father-in-law, a German emigrant to South Africa who created a beautiful wine farm, against all odds, and planted thousands of trees, in an attempt to re-create the Black Forest of his youth. On a mountainside overlooking Cape-Town and the ocean.
Join me in raising a glass to honor this stubborn and heroic bon-vivant.
