Winter Solstice 2010

No.102, aired December 22, 2010, third annual Winter Solstice special, celebrating imaginative peaks & outer darkness. Featuring further passages from Joseph Conrad’s Heart Of Darkness, audiobook ran simultaneous with mostly Braxton’s Open Aspects, but also with other tracks. Played four Nursery Hymns by W.B. Yonder (a.k.a. Regina’s Patrick Johnson), where he sets nursery rhymes to classical hymns, thus re-uniting once popular (as opposed to classical) tunes with popular (as opposed to religious) content – more info at http://www.wbyonder.citymax.com/firstpage.html.
