On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Sarah Belle Reid! She’s got a fantastic new record, “Accidental Ornithology,” in collaboration with Vinny Golia (the legend!) out now. It’s such a fun record. We talk about that a bit, Vinny’s magic, and her learning synthesis courses. Then, it really goes places with memories of Taj Mahal, finding joy in playing music, all the places Mahler’s 5th takes us, Else Marie Pade’s underappreciated greatness, Robert Ashley, SOPHIE, Wynton Marsalis, Parmegiani, Laurie Anderson, and more!
