Woodog Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Just finished listening to another production of American Routes, a radio show produced by Nick Spitzer on Public Radio International.

TheEvan Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Yeah, I'm a fan. but I have to, being from south Louisiana (Nick's show originates from New Orleans). New Orleans is such a cauldron of musical creativity & talent it's not even funny... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
