Chapter 38 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux has dropped! Sorry for the long absence, but back in the saddle again. We start with a tribute to Dolly Parton, also mentioning Gram Parsons (from Flying Burritos - and you will know why if you see the video), Emmylou Harris, Lowell George, and Linda Ronstadt (whom we interviewed on WGAN many years ago).
