We are all still talking about last week’s visit with L.A.-based artist Dave Muller. As part of his talk, the annual Barbra and Andrew Rothschild lecture, he performed his Top 11 records, on two turntables, for about 20 minutes. You’ll not easily find these tracks on iTunes or even in a nearby record bin.
He has shared this very special playlist, below, with a link to the music. Thank you, Dave!
