Lets see – now this was a more normal Crossraods programme. Starting with some of the great rock and rollers – Bobby Dylan, Robbie Robertson, the not as famous as they should be Blasters, some blues,  mainly from Chicago, some African stuff – where the Blues really came from, back to a classic rock run from Steely Dan, Ry and Tom Waits and finish with the lovely Rosana. Not a lot of plays for her but she is a crossroads favourite – should be heard much more – lovely songs, good backing- I only wish I knew what she was talking about.
