AMERICAN HIGHWAYS #22 : Composer Portrait of Donal Fox
Tonight’s special guest is composer Donal Fox, and our theme is “Confounding the Genre Police” I first heard Donal at the Regattabar in Cambridge, Massachusetts, about twenty years ago. His three favorite albums as a kid were a Bach Cantata, The Rite of Spring, and Birth of the Cool. Join us as we discuss music, the internet, genres, and American culture, race, and politics.
