Great music! Particularly appreciate the song list posted online.
I love this music. I wish there was a Leonard Lopate music hour more often, and I second the thanks for posting the playlist
Didn't this segment last the entire show last year? Would really appreciate 2 hours of Leonards private collection.
Why do I/we have to "wait until next year" as Leonard stated? I would appreciate your help in locating some of this wonderful music.
Great show, Leonard. I wish you did even more music specials! How about a monthly gospel show?
Just to voice a contrary opinion, I always find this the least interesting segment of the year. I'd just as soon you skipped it (though I think it is still better than Brian's annual MLK day bad poetry contest, which I think is the absolutely most loathsome programming on NPR, ever). I generally really like your show Leonard, just not this segment!
Oh how I would love it if I could click a link and buy this playlist and have a portion of my purchase support your show...
Thanks for these gospel shows. They're awesome.
