Playlist: Episode #1132, Apr. 12, 2026 – David Wiffen tribute

New music, discoveries, classics, and we pay tribute to the great David Wiffen, who left us on April 5. Wiffen didn’t release a lot of music, but he wrote some timeless classics and possessed one of my very favourite voices of all time.
