Tales of the Afflicted

Saturday, November 05, 2005

More of Steve Post’s adventures in hospital-land this week, as the afflicted one relates tales from his most recent illnesses and cites Oscar Levant as his role model. You will treasure Steve’s rendition of “Back in the Saddle Again,” for which the station expects to be sued by the copyright holder (and rightfully so). A kind of musical necropolis fills out the rest of the show, with selections by the recently departed Shirley Horn, R.L. Burnside, and Paul Pena.
