Playlist for “Around The Fringe” - July 17th, 2026

Serving up the cool rock on a hot day with Around The Fringe, one of the original radiophonic flagships of the Cultural Liberation Front, broadcasting what needs to be cast for over four decades. It airs live on Friday nights on WYSO 91.3 FM. This show pulls generously from the It's All Happening episode Nervous Shakedown.

Was glad to be able to feature some music from my friend Kattie Dougherty Mullins (who I worked with in Real Lulu), whose long time work as a Montessori teacher, and the challenges she and so many public school teachers face today, is spotlighted in this new documentary film "Critical: One School In Dayton".
