The Paleface Parabola - 11-09-2024
We address the 23rd anniversary of America’s 9/11 disaster verbally on this week’s Parabola, aka caper 142, because it’s a moment in time that should be spoken about. Feel no fret, it’s only less than two minutes duration. The rest of the programme is frolic, stories, songs, escape from the beat-down this century has been for a variety of reasons. This week’s scheme has joyous bounce and luster as we pave the way for Retrospect 640 otherwise known as part two of Psychedelic Pseptember. To play for time till then, our Parabola flings musical fun at you directly from we court jesters. Louis Jordan, The Showstoppers, Toots & The Maytals, John Martyn, and the Mystery Man’s magic act of the week, the group Zabadak. So order up a round of cactus juice and let the party start we say!
