American Highways

CHRISTMAS SPECIAL: AMERICAN HIGHWAYS EPISODE #69   It’s the end of a difficult year, and so while we drive along the American Highway at dusk, we will be reflecting on the good and the bad. Actually, this is the closest I’ll be getting to a party playlist. Enjoy!  In this episode of American Highways, pianist Guy Livingston brings us Quincy Jones, Duke Ellington, Leonard Bernstein, Florence Price (unjustly forgotten African-American composer), Alanna Rantala, Benny Goodman, and Raymond Scott. Plus a poem by Dylan Thomas.
