Welcome to Episode 6

Welcome back to Stories From The Stylus!

We are sure glad you are here with us and taking another musical journey through the stacks of shellac! As more and more of us are confined to our homes, we hope you will laugh along with us on this very special episode. Although we always aim for a slightly curated playlist, this time we happen upon a few themes that are sure to tickle your funny bone or your groan bone depending on your taste in humor. Tim finally gets a chance to tell his Jethro Burns story he’s been dying to share since the holidays, Marc tries to make sense of all things backwards, and we travel from France to the Islands (which ones? You’ll find out!) and back again.

And please help us “Set the record Straight” by leaving your comments on our webpage, on our Mixcloud page, on Facebook, and the other social media places.

We hope everyone is staying healthy and safe in the age of Covid-19.

Thanks again for listening!
