We have drummer and composer Nate Smith live today at 3:00 p.m. That session is open to the public. \nOur Fall Drive begins on Friday, October 3rd. Thanks to the generosity of some lovely supporters, any donations this week before the start of the drive will be MATCHED!:  https://www.kexp.org/donate/\nThanks so much for being part of this community!\n--\nRecorded in 1974 under the auspices of a senior project at a small Quaker boarding school in Newtown, Pennsylvania, \"Eternal Life\" is the product of Shira Small's four years away from the Wagner Projects in East Harlem. In Harlem, Small grew up imitating Ray Charles, the Temptations, Ella Fitzgerald-and Joni Mitchell.\nRecognizing her talent, her music teacher Lars Clutterham convinced her to record an album of original material as her senior project. The money to press the album was drummed up by pre-sales and a few generous parents, with all 500 copies distributed to students and faculty of Newton's George School.","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
