I'm on holiday for a while, and without a photo editor, but here's a screenshot of this week's playlist. Now streaming at CRY104fm.com/listen-back/

Mediocre photos, to be sure (I ended up sitting behind a tall man with a fuzzy hat, and had to lean around to get a decent angle) but I quite enjoyed the performances of Gyða Valtýsdóttir (left) and Mary Lattimore at St. Luke's yesterday afternoon

No lying or making yourself out to be a cool kid.

Post the first record you bought.

If you can remember the shop or circumstances add that too. Local colour appreciated.

I'll be on the air at midnight eastern on WHUPfm.org, doing my best pitching for your financial support to keep the little station that could up and running for another 10 years. I'm revisiting some of the music I played in those first months back in the fall of 2015
