DJ McSchmormac’s attempts to break the chains of love that bind him to Radio Valencia proved unsuccessful, so he found himself returning with another batch of exotic & mellow sound reproductions; dating from before the end of 1950; for all his joyful fans throughout the land and skies. Ian Nagoski called in to talk about his newly released CD: “USTAD ABDUL KARIM KHAN – 1934-1935”
