A Conversation with Phyl Garland
Sundays is all soul. I can get lost in all the new releases and the urge to listen to that classic Hip Hop album from my favorite artist. So much so that it's easy to neglect the time for other genres of music. With all that needs to get done, especially for prep for the week ahead, decided to dedicate Sundays to Soul, call it a Sunday Soul. That includes searching through all the archives, lost conversations to get deeper into the song and behind how the people thought of the music. That's how I found out about Phyl Garland and the Studs Terkel Radio Archive. Below are two parts of a real deep conversation on the Sounds of Black Music, a conversation had during the Fall breaks of November 1968. One to return to and quote for it's references to the time's movements and music and it's impact today. There's a lot of conversations to connect to here with some of today's debates.
