<< Tropicology
Oh my! Encyclopedia Sound was not planning on this show until late last night... I realized that we are in the midst of the Mardi Gras peoples! Mardi Gras done come early this year, I almost missed it!!!
Any listeners from the very early Sundays on XRAY FM will remember that I passed the mic to my Bayou cousin Lexicon Cajon, and I intend to do the same this year.
It is a full 2 hours of great Mardi Gras music from N'Awlins today on the Adventures!!
