Better Days #196
A Thimbleful Of Rain
Thursday, December 15th
10:00 pm - 12 midnight Pacific (GMT -8)
webcast at www.coopradio.org

This week and next I'll complete the feature on my twelve
favourite releases of 2005. Last week I did sets on fine
recordings by Laura Cantrell (Humming By The Flowered
Vine), Ellis Paul (American Jukebox Fables), Abigail
Washburn (Song Of The Traveling Daughter) and
Christy Moore (Burning Times). This week I have four
more gems for you...

Sam Baker : Mercy
Danny Barnes : Get Myself Together
Neil Young : Prairie Wind
Tom Russell : Hotwalker

I'll air a few other sets of things that have come to me
lately, as well as a few recent writings, but these four
superb albums will provide the show's centerpiece.

That's Thursday, December 15th, ten to midnight in
the Pacific time zone, for another edition of Better Days,
heard around the corner at 102.7 fm and around the
world by webcast at www.coopradio.org

Look forward to spending a couple hours with you.
