First off, my apologies for being absent last week. The old busyness of life caught up with me, but it is great to be back at the Forest Park Homestead studio. Big thanks to new presenter Kristina for filling in and selecting some great tracks for the 3MDR FM dial. You can listen back to her fill-in show at your leisure, just head to the DYT show page on 3mdr.com. Kristina also presents her own show, Spilling The T, on Wednesdays from 1pm to 2pm, playing music by the ultra-expressive. Check it out if you can.

We are keeping things pretty laidback this evening for this post-winter-solstice broadcast, beaming out on the 97.1 FM frequency from the Kallista transmitter. Tonight’s musical journey finds us hanging out in the Antipodean zone, as well as the USA, to enjoy a gathering of thoughtful, strummy, and atmospheric songs filled with sunny melancholy, reflection, and hope.
