In this episode, we dive into the archives to learn about the long history of pianos, a very unique guitar and maybe why we should start thinking of record stores as more than just places to buy music, but to be a part of a community.
Donmo:
It’s not quite the Delta … but our first story takes us to South Australia to meet Don Morrison… to talk about guitar making and why it’s so hard for musicians to break the pub ceiling. Produced by Benjamin Erin in 2019 for the Transom Travelling Workshop. Special thanks to the CMTO.
Greg:
Our next story takes us into the story of a particular record shop in Naarm. Thomas speaks with Greg, owner of Hub 301 Records and founder of the Now Legendary Rhythm and Soul, about how the culture of music consumption has changed. Produced by Thomas Matijevic. Special thanks to Dan Semo and Janak Rogers.
Joe Leaver:
In our next story, we are asked to see that instruments are more than just things to be used to make music; they have complicated histories. The next story is about pianos and a man who has made a career of tuning and restoring them. Produced by Olivia Rosenman
