History is Cool

One of the reasons I find this story of the Island of Manhattan so fascinating is the propensity of varied twists and turns that it takes en route to becoming today’s epicenter of the universe. Author Fawn Brokaw Doyle beautifully illustrates several of those early twists in her new book Salt People of the Cloud Houses. Now if you’ve never heard the name Sarah Rapalje, for one thing, we know you’re not up to date on our podcast. But then again, don’t feel too bad. After all, this is our lost American history. But you see, when this young lady was born to French-speaking refugees on...

Loudon Wainwright III has been singing and songwriting for over fifty years. His dozens of studio albums are complemented by several live albums. And more recently has emerged yet another dimension to this multi-dimensional career with "I'd Rather Lead a Band"  (http://www.lw3.com/album/id-rather-le...) a collaboration with orchestra leader Vince Giordano, a project that introduces an entire new musical genre for Loudy, bringing us his personalized version of "the great American songbook" of old-time standards: A Ship Without a Sail, Ain't Misbehaving, My Blue Heaven and many more. And after vowing to "never be a writer" like his famous writer father, he has done just that by penning his own, hilarious autobiography "Liner Notes" which is a must on Audible.com (https://www.audible.com/pd/Liner-Note...) Loudy also just happens to have some deep, DEEP roots in this city -- not just in "New York" but going back all the way to "New Netherland."  (This particular family connection even sort of blew me away :)  Join us for a retrospective on this inimitably self-styled "one-man guy", discussing the likes of Harry Chapin, Warren Zevon, "Dylan in 1963", dead skunks, along with Loudy's large and illustriously musical family.   Loudon Wainwright III is a living part of this incredible city's rich history.
