nice one jj thanks from ireland
An honour to be included on your show Jason.
The Fading Yellow series has greatly enriched my musical world since Bill Forsyth of the late, great Minus Zero shoppe in London turned me on to the first volume about a decade ago. Cheers from Philly to Bill, and, of course, to JJ! Keep ’em comin’!
