Three very different segments this month. First, I uncover a 50 year-old music mystery,
revealing the name of the singer of the first full music album of lyrically gay material,
including a delightful interview with the album's producer, Murray Garrett. Next is a sampling of
quite obscure queer rare songs. And, Part 3, a quick history of German GLBT music, in German.
