Stevie Wonder and Prince

Original air date January 19, 2019 | Time 59:00

As we prepare to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr's birthday, lets explore the artistry of two of the great singer songwriters of our time. Both of these men showed musical talent from their earliest years, with Stevie signing his first recording contract when he was 11 yrs old. Prince was 17 yrs old when he released his first album. They are both virtuoso musicians and each of them often recorded and produced songs as a solo performance, being the only musician on all the instruments and vocals. They each offered unique points of view on life and love and have influenced our contemporary culture in lasting and valuable ways. Each of them have sold more than 100 Million records. Stevie Wonder started the campaign to make MLK's birthday a national holiday.

David Crosby, Snarky Puppy, Becca Stevens - New Music

Original air date Dec 1, 2018 | Time 59:00

David Crosby is flourishing in his 70's as he composes some of the best music of his life. He has released new recordings every year for the past four years. He's been working with a group of musicians that understand his muse and rise to the occasion spectacularly.

Especially interesting is the song "Vagrants of Venice", a futuristic sci-fi look at life post climate change when the seas have risen and people live on the rooftops, survival is all they know. Becca Stevens composes the music and her signature electric guitar creates the atmosphere, just brilliant.
