Playlist for “Around The Fringe” - IAH New Spring Studio Edition 3/20/26

A pleasure hosting the first edition of Around The Fringe from the new broadcast studios of WYSO 91.3 FM in Yellow Springs. Around The Fringe, has been a staple of WYSO programming for well over four decades, and one I’ve been helping host for almost half that time. The program is a direct inspirational template for It’s All Happening, and most of the music featured in this program was taken from IAH playlists.

The program's creator and regular host the Rev. Cool (aka Jim Carter) was away this weekend to attend to helping organize and host a community memorium event for his friend Ismael Ahmed, a man whose life and legacy of service to not just community but to humanity was profound. More on who he was and his life’s work here and this from The Detroit Free Press.
