Michael Hennessey, one of the founding participants of the PennSound archive, and now its Editor, stopped by the Kelly Writers House a few months back and joined me in the Wexler Studio. We played and discussed five recordings Mike has chosen from among the tens of thousands of recordings available in the archive. HERE is a link to the podcast entry at Jacket2 magazine.
