We begin the shortest month with Episode #198 and once again bid farewell to another musical icon. This time guitarist Tom Verlaine steps aboard the Tram to the After Party, as always sooner than we would like. We said goodbye to Billy Conway last year but now get to celebrate the release of a great tribute offered by his friends and musical comrades, Jeffrey Foucault, Laurie Sargent, Kris Delmhorst and the lone remaining Morphine member, Dana Colley among others. Warren Zevon finally arrives on the R&R Hall Nominee list and there are new releases from City and Colour, Field School and a brilliant new album from Joe Henry. Stick around until the end because James Deeley's new one arrived just in time to make it to the show. There are 9 days left in this fundraising cycle, which is when this link expires, https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8QI2qLIzpG.
