Episode 16: Not a Thumb-Twiddling Community (Interview: Lucky Diaz / Alisha Gaddis)

Rather than running down the charts and kindie news this week, I spend a lovely half-hour chatting with Lucky Diaz and Alisha Gaddis from Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band.  It's a wide-ranging conversation featuring musical upbringings (Lucky's story about his first music lesson is, no lie, a classic), difficulties in translations (apropos given their new Spanish-language album Fantastico!), and Alisha's grandfather.  Tons of fun.
