“an extension of yesterday”
transmitting from mount vernon, new york, usa

this show was inspired by the poetry of wanda robinson. towards the end, i play her poem “john harvey’s blues.” hopefully you won’t mind that it’s a seriously scratchy record, but in this digital day and age, i rather appreciate the pops and crackles of some vinyl. the needle skips during a line in the poem; it’s supposed to read like this…

“his life is beyond reason - the very nature of his being
is so insane that i almost give up, searching for ways
and means to comfort him, to keep him around until
tomorrow…”
