Once again this week we’ve got a great batch of new music and we revisit some classic debut albums. Last weekend, we got the sad news that a longstanding supporter of UMFM and this show had passed away. Boyd Barber not only gave me one of my favourite songwriters in his son Del Barber, but also some great songs and stories and support. We’ve got a whole hour of memories today as we tip our hats to him and his loving family and friends. (ethicaldeathcare.com/barber-boyd)
