Intro Track

At 2:25 Greetings Xenophiles!

On this day in 1912 Harriet Quimby became the first female pilot to fly across the English Channel.

Today in 1943 Swiss scientist Dr. Albert Hofmann discovered the psychedelic effects of LSD.

In 1956 the first solar-powered radios went on sale.

Happy birthday to the marvellously named Louis The Pious, Holy Roman Emperor, who would be 1,248 years old today.

And to Charlie Chaplin who would be 137 today.

We opened the show with a song composed by our guest, performed by him and his band, and recorded in his studio. Curcus by BluesCore, written by Raul Kușak.

This show features expats, repats, and special guests who can be neither, as long as they are musicians. And hooo boy! is Raul Kușak a musician. My favourite keyboard player on planet Earth.
