Russian Telegraph rehearsed last night, none of us remember the recording session of SAY NO! pictured here in 2019. Basics were in one take with vocal/horns overdubbing, people adding their beauty step by step. We'll be presenting this piece and those of Jordan Glasgow & David James, along with covers of Pixies & Nelson Cavaquinho, with drummer John Hanes, bassist Keith McArthur, trumpet/percussionist Chris Grady, vocalist Daria 'Shani' Johnson, with Red Son's Frenchy LeBeau opening with in celebration of 75 year birthday of KPFA Radio.
