Lots of ground to cover this week: we’ll bid farewell to Ronald Khalis Bell of Kool & The Gang, get fuzzy with Gary Clark, Jr., and celebrate several notable birthdays, including those of Brother Jack McDuff, Bill Black, and Hank Williams. We’ll hear from Blonde Redhead and a few other musical “blondes”. We’ll also pay birthday tribute to Ken Kesey with a San Francisco band he took under his psychedelic wing and stop by Spain for a goth/flamenco track from Rosalía. And to top it all off? A special hour-long celebration of the majestic mellotron and some of the groovy folks who use it.
