U. UTAH PHILLIPS
The Continuing Saga of Loafer's Glory / A Hobo Jungle of the Mind.
As I courageously plow through miles of tapes, mountains of CDs, LPs and old 78s, I offer music known and unknown and years of sheer recollection delicately hammered together into a one-hour weekly radio show. Songs and stories from Mickey Katz to Mongolian horsemen, war and peace, tramping...all or most of it proving once again that no matter how long I vacuum, the bag is never full.
Utah's radio show that was broadcast live from his community radio station KVMR in Nevada City, CA.
