February 27th 2009:
Sunday Februari 22nd Woody Harris celebrated
the 3rd aniversary of Soundscape
with a show in which he played, as he put it:
"only a swath of the artists that have
made the biggest difference to our little broadcast".
To our great astonishment that list included
"The
Web of Life"!
Replying to a thank-you-mail that André
wrote to him, Woody today mailed:
"The goal was to place those people who
have been strong supporters of Soundscape front
and center. I was trying to follow the facebook
meme of the 15 albums that influenced you, but
do it for Soundscape. I am still going to attempt
to make the list in the near future and place
it on my facebook page. Soundscape would not
be what it is without the presence of Andre
in chat, and the exclusives that you guys have
allowed us to play."
