The Lion of Zimbabwe

Woo hoo! I tuned in to Andy Kershaw's (archived) program on BBC Radio 3 tonight on a whim after getting my latest copy of the great Folk Roots magazine in the mail today, and found out that Andy's guest in session tonight was one of my absolute favorite musicians, Thomas Mapfumo, The Lion of Zimbabwe (and now of Oregon). Live songs, plus interview. Yes! (The program should be available on the BBC web site for about a week. Maybe they'll set up a separate file of the session later, too.)

What do you mean there is no cat?

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."

- Albert Einstein, explaining radio

There used to be a cat
