ATG 27: Winter Solstice edition for 2007

Webcast Title: ATG 27, Our Winter Solstice Edition
Webcast Date: beginning February 2008
Webcast Time: daily at 9-1 AM and 7-11:00 PM (MST)

On the winter's solstice edition of ATG, we'll light a fire under Charles Brown's now-famous baby, issue orders for a 21-drum salute to Jeff Porcaro, climb a rope ladder to the moon, then selflessly breach the boundaries of good taste and propriety simply to save a poor, innocent drum track from the thought police.

This edition of ATG is the 27th installment of our periodic program,Odds and Sods, first webcast in February of 2008, with a running time of approximately three and one half hours. Highlights of the 'cast include the poetry and percussion of Tom Teasley and Charles Williams, a demonstration of the nine-drum tabla tarang, the triumphant return of drummer Levon Helm, and newly minted performances by drummers Mickey Hart, Dave King, Poncho Sanchez, and Craig Pilo.

The webcast will be streamed daily at 9-1 AM and 7-11 PM fromwww.live365.com/stations/flamdaddy
