In the early 1960's, Lou Reed hosted a radio program called "Excursions on a Wobbly Rail" that was named after a song by the Cecil Taylor Quartet. This blog is about music that is not always new or easy to come across, but that is inspiring and exciting. If successful, the blog will have new music up approximately every month. Share with friends! There is also a Facebook page for Excursions on Wobbly Rail. Please 'Like' it or follow @WobblyRail on Twitter.

SHOW YA HOW IT'S DONE!
The summer is over and I've really enjoyed sharing these music collections with people. I don't know if I'll have as much time in the fall, but there are sure to be more of these in the future.
There has been a change to the bit rate of the mp3s in order to increase download speeds and because people told me the 320 kbps was unnecessary. It's still a fairly high bit rate at 192 kbps without taking up so much drive space. If this is a problem for you, please let me know in the comments or wherever you found site this from. Thanks for listening.
