A post-snowstorm edition of "Sunday Street"

The "Turning of the Year" edition with some favorites from 2016, some new and forthcoming releases for 2017, and some songs to mark the passing of the old year and the advent of the new one.

The Winter Solstice edition

Today's program's theme was "Mostly Mose," a celebration of the career of Mose Allison, the bluesman and jazz musician who left us this past Tuesday at age 89. In addition to this we also played a set of songs for Thanksgiving and some songs by Leon Russell, another recent loss in the music world.

Much of today's program was spent listening to the music of Leonard Cohen, who passed away earlier this week.

Today's program featured an in-studio visit from Beaucoup Blue. We also spoke by phone with Jim Faith, founding member of the Long Island Music Hall of Fame, about LIMHOF's upcoming induction ceremony.

Caroline Doctorow was our in-studio guest

This week's edition of Sunday Street on WUSB, 90.1 fm and wusb.fm, featured several tracks from a soon-to-be-released album from Richard Shindell. We also shared some songs from Canada's The Tragically Hip, whose over thirty year career culminated in a brief tour ending with a nation-wide broadcast last Saturday evening. (Their frontman, Gord Downie, was recently diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.) Chris J. Connolly visited with us in the studio as he sets forth to record his second album and played some songs from it. And we remembered harmonica virtuoso, Toots Thielemans, who passed away on Monday at age 94.

A conversation with John Hall, founding member of Orleans and a two-term Congressman from New York, was featured on today's program.

Bluesman Toby Walker joined us in the studio during this program.
