We welcome back Eli Oberman (a great musician and our resident wind expert) to discuss Nina Simone's "Wild Is The Wind." We cover the upbeat moments in sad songs, singers who make you glad to feel wistful, and the perfect time to call a skiffle band.
Our intro is by Laura Barger and Jack Baldelli, and our outro is by Johnny Mathis. Want to leave us a voicemail? Just call 646-389-0767!
