You can stream this if you go to WFUV.org and look in Archives of Pete's Mixed Bag shows. Mike Smith was a very articulate and intelligent musician who had some great stories to tell about that era. RIP. Neal

I may have every U.S. release the DC-5 ever did. I miss many of the Jazz and Rock greats that have passed, Ella, Sarah, Chet, Del, Roy, Dusty and so many other greats.

Used to buy most of my albums in the mid to late sixties from the EJ Korvette on Route 1 in Edison, NJ, as well as from Two Guys from Harrison store in Middletown on Rt. 35. Boy, those were the days.-Mrmitch
