True or not, no classic strip was better suited to embellish the inner sanctum of Pharaoh Tut’s tomb than Ernie Bushmiller’s long-running tot saga Nancy.

Loudon Wainwright III And Vince Giordano Play From The Great American Songbook

SAM BRIGER, HOST: This is FRESH AIR. I m Sam Briger, sitting in for Terry Gross. Loudon Wainwright is best known for his confessional songs about family dysfunction and satirical songs about politics and other issues. But last year he took a slight turn, teaming up with Vince Giordano for a set of songs from the 20s and 30s, songs by Fats Waller, Harold Arlen, Frank Loesser and others. Giordano plays tuba, bass and bass saxophone and leads the 11-piece jazz band The Nighthawks. Before this project, he and Wainwright collaborated on the HBO gangster series Boardwalk Empire about bootlegging in Atlantic City during Prohibition. Terry invited them to bring their instruments to Hobo Sound Studio in New Jersey to talk and play a few tunes - socially distanced, of course. The title of their album is I d Rather Lead A Band. Here s a track from it.

Walla Walla record store owner rates Taylor Swift's new album top of Top-10 for 2020

Just like another one of the lovers who fueled Taylor Swift’s musical themes and schemes, I was seduced, sedated and stuck on Swift with on first listening of “Folklore.” With an opening piano introduction straight out of a Bruce Hornsby playbook, seamstress Swift spins yarns that stitch her regrets, “What ifs?” and “What could have beens” of lost loves into a warm narrative cardigan sweater that everyone would love to wear. Composed and recorded in a year of quarantine, lockdown and postponed concerts, Swift writes and sings about previous lovers and affairs from high school home rooms to her current four-year relationship with actor Joe Alwyn. He is Swift’s songwriting partner listed as William Bowery on three songs on “Folklore,” from Republic Records.
