My conversation with William Parker originally broadcast on 1.1.2025 on my program Something Else on KBGA Missoula. 

If you're new to William's music, this will be a great show to catch as he discusses his ideals as an artist and human being from his early years to the present time with many excellent anecdotes along the way. He's a great storyteller and his music possesses so much power and healing. He's such a gift. 

Thank you so much to William Parker and Steven Joerg for making this possible.
