This week's show is a "Mostly Orchestral Edition" of "The Bottomless Pit," the first of its kind. We'll shine the audio spotlight on artistes like David Amram, Joshua Bell and Anoushka Shankar, Katarzyna Myćka, the Groningen Guitar Duo, and Steve Reich, plus Ethel Merman and Stephen Sondheim.
Vin Scelsa weaves an unpredicatable tapestry on tonight's "Idiot's Delight"® at 8, following the city lights lead of Emily Barker and The Red Clay Halo.
Inspired by Emily's lyrics, Vin finds himself on a journey that takes him to Richard and Linda Thompson, seaside songs, Laura Cantrell, river fires, Randy Newman and even odes to a particular Midwestern state.
Escape those cold gloomy skies, warm up by the fire, and join us tonight for the Whole Wide World as we celebrate the excellent soundtracks that have recently made their musical debut. We'll be spinning excellent songs from Inside Llewyn Davis, 12 Years A Slave, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and many more from recent movie releases. We will also be previewing music from artists playing our upcoming Holiday Cheer concert featuring Iron & Wine, Amos Lee, Calexico, and other greats.
We sure brewed up a strong blend of tunes for our rainy Friday Mixtape! As usual, your requests were great way to get us ready for the weekend.

Yesterday Nelson Mandela left us. He left us a better world. He left us inspired to make it even better ourselves.
After being imprisoned for 27 years, Mandela led the struggle to end apartheid in South Africa and became the country's first black president. He died yesterday at his home in Johannesburg at age 95. Today on the WFUV Question of the Day we're remembering Mandela and celebrating his life in song. Please leave your suggestions in the comments below and we'll spin a set after 9am.
Here's what we played:
