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.
