For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Sarah Hennies on the show. We talk a bit about a couple of the many projects Sarah’s working on right now - performances of Michael Ranta pieces and her duo with Tristan Kasten-Krause. I’m not sure there are many people with more happening! Once we get into the songs, the laughs start early and never stop as we talk about the Duke of Dukedom himself, Ivor Cutler’s excellent use of fart noises, how Acetone was hiding in plain sight, the genius and divisiveness of Bobby Conn, how Daniel Romano avoided the Sub Pop curse, finally unlocking Arthur Russell, Souled American being the absolute greatest, and so much more!
