Theremin I was scrolling along when I came across a NYT article with podcast and thought it was worth a share. I remember when Steve, from Song of the Day for Today, introduced me to the music of Leaf Rapids and I learned that cool sound in at least one of the songs was the…

I wanted to post Neil Young’s Sugar Mountain so bad for this week’s prompt but decided to look for something else, and I kept scanning until this one clicked. It is a song on a celebrated album of excellent tunes. Harry Nilsson had more talent in his pinky than most have in their entire bodies…
