Phil G here;  Friday (11/14) , on The Songcircle (in the The Forests of Fennario)  I will have the pleasure of playing an interview with Don Was. We talked about his new album "Groove in the Face of Adversity" with the Pan-Detroit Ensemble, working with the Stones, the Dead, the MC5, Willie Nelson, and so much more. He was a delight to talk with; I'll be playing all kinds of music that he was involved in making, and I hope y'all will enjoy as much as I did (which is a LOT)!
