#122: Vaults: Accordion Songs

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
This New Sounds from the Vaults features at least one familiar voice – that of David Garland, host of WNYC’s “Evening Music” and “Spinning on Air.” Back in 1988, he appeared on “New Sounds” as a composer/songwriter, and for this program, performed live with one certain accordion virtuoso (and composer) Guy Klucevsek. Together and separately, the two play songs about leave-taking, love, and expectancy, while trying to pinpoint the color of David Garland's accordion for the radio listener.
