In A New York State Of Mind...

Produced by: 
KBOO
Air date: 
Thu, 05/25/2017 - 8:00pm to 10:00pm

We mentioned last time that we were moving back to NYC (the place we grew up); and yes, though we have lived on the West Coast for a very long time, we are reminded by others from time to time that the New York-ness never left...  with that, we felt inspired to play some music, reflecting that New York Sensibility (either by artists from there, or simply singing about it).  Though gentrification/land grabbing has gripped various major cities of the world, it is particularly noticeable in the five boroughs.  Has New York lost its character, or are the people doing their best to hold on to the last vestiges of it?
