Brainwaves – Nov. 30, 2021 – Darkness into light
Written by Brian Blum on 29/11/2021
This week’s Brainwaves takes us on a journey from darkness into the light in honor of the holiday of Hanukah which starts this week. But given some of the darkness in the world today, we could all use a little light, right? So, the first half of this week’s show includes all songs about the dark; the second half is music with “light” in the title. Dark Side of the Moon vs. I Saw The Light. Tune in this week and banish the shadows!
