Continuing the National Hispanic Heritage Month series of shows (on the eve of Columbus Day) with recordings from the continental American countries: Mexico/U.S.A., Colombia, Peru, Argentina & Venezuela, dating from 1910-1944, including some non-commercially-available-sourced tracks, courtesy of David Soffa.

His Eminence, Professor Dilettante was in the house again, and even The Legendary Ferrara Brain Pan – of Radio Valencia’s Mindtrain & No Such Program – manifested a presence during the show’s dwindling moments!
