Sessions with Sandy - 2018 Highlights Show! - 2018-12-29

This week we travel back in time to 1970 to listen to two broadcasts of Palante! Radio, the weekly radio show of the New York chapter of the Young Lords Organization.

History is Revolting: Palante Radio: NYC Young Lords Organization 1970

Steven and Paul Haberman were my guests tonight on Sessions with Sandy, our weekly live music and interview program on WXRW 104.1 FM. It was a reunion of their folk rock duo, Dempsey (as in Jack), for some acoustic punch! They performed regularly in the area years ago. Their sound features literate lyrics, vocal harmonies, inventive guitar work, harmonica, and fine bass lines.  We got to know the duo, talked a bit about the old days, and enjoyed some of their originals live from beautiful Studio B.  Enjoy! 

Dempsey doesn't have an internet presence at this time.  Hopefully they'll start playing out again.  Keep an eye out!

Sessions with Sandy - Dempsey (Steven & Paul Haberman) - 2020-02-15

Wey Ya Ho Ya Hey - Spirit Force. We call the Spirit Force for Peace, for Harmony, for Healing. AS IS ABOVE SO IS BELOW!
