ANFTD #8: Myra Melford (Subscribers Only)

Myra Melford joins the ANFTD team for a discussion of her music including a new solo piano album, being inspired by nonmusical art forms, and collaborations in improvisational music and food. Dave reflects on his early days of street performing, Michael talks future inventions we’ve all been waiting for, and the two sing the theme to “Hockey Night in Canada” (ouch!).
