On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s James Toth! He doesn't need much introduction - a fellow lifer, one hell of a songwriter, you know. We bond over early memories of Crystal Gale, Bobby Charles, Rainy Day, Black Flag, The Roches, Madonna, Randy Newman + loads more! Bless the lifers.

@brentsirota.bsky.social once again weighs in on Greg Foat, the Lord Byron of contemporary jazz. Mary Oliver would approve of the read and the listen, I think
