I took the week off for Thanksgiving, but the Reaper kept up to his regular harvesting of souls. In addition to taking one of the best people and one of the worst people in politics, our show this week features a funky one-hit wonder and a legendary funky drummer from America, musicians from Ireland, Wales, and England, a trip to South America, and our oldest musician yet on Rest in Playlist.

This week, we’ve got three actresses on our Main Stage. The Reaper also brings us a smorgasbord of pop, funk, blues, rap, jazz, and showtunes featuring artists from five continents spanning sixty-two years of age between them.

This week we lost another rapper from the G-Funk era, a young up-and-coming English indie rocker, and an older foundational English indie rocker. We’ll also hear from some Japanese rock, Swedish dance, Peruvian bolero, German jazz, and Indian showtunes. I guarantee there’s no other radio show like it.

The Grim Reaper keeps hacking away at my Gen-X TV memories, taking from us Chandler and Bull. On the musical side, we’ve got two American drummers from the worlds of funk and metal, an American country music songwriting legend, and one of America’s top trance DJs. We’ve also got musicians and singers from Hungary, India, Italy, Russia, Israel, and The Congo. We’ve even got the composer of an African national anthem onstage this week.
