Fueled by literary, cinematic and red wine indulgence, this week’s Listen Up! collects an array of songs that clutter the maze of music’s dusty corridors. Some are lovely and some are filled with a sense of foreboding and dread. It is an afternoon soundscape filled with soaring vistas of imagination & emotion.
Follow the Listen Up! Blog and/or “like” the show on Facebook. Both serve as and addendum and means to interact with the program.
