Music Greats We Lost in 2022 with Sheldon Zoldan, Part 2
Manage episode 353654217 series 3294566
Sheldon Zoldan, the researcher and writer behind Song of the Day since he debuted the project in 2020, did something different at the end of last year by turning his daily Song of the Day write-ups into a series of tributes to musical greats who died during the year.
In this episode, Sheldon reads 23 of those tributes. He read 20 others in Part 1.
There's a musical interlude preceding each tribute. The song is "You and Me" by Mike Villegas, a talented musician and audio engineer who made the final edits on this episode. "You and Me" is available on Spotify.
