Many thanks to\u00a0SWLing Post<\/em>\u00a0contributor, Bill Tilford, who shares the following update:<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the Isle of Music, June 2026<\/p>\n

This month, we feature three new releases – special guest Hugo Cruz will be with us to help present his second release, “Figure It Out”.\u00a0 The album also has a fascinating back story. Unless you have a jazz allergy, you won’t want to miss this.

Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot, June 2026<\/p>\n

Due to last month’s very poor propagation, we are repeating last month’s episode of Persian classical music.
