Showcase, featuring Gary Frenay and Arty Lenin, with Dick Ward, Linda  
Stout, Ed Zacholl, and yours truly. This is going to be a great and  
diverse show, with some surprise collaborations plus the Soundbite of  
the Night, in which I share a notable moment from my interview  
archives. (In the first show, I played a clip of Paul Simon  
reminiscing about the music of his childhood…) More on all the  
performers below.

contributor to NPR’s All Things Considered. Music journalist Andy  
Ellis (Guitar Player, Frets) calls Rodgers’ brand-new solo CD,
