If you like round numbers, then you should be excited that this is the 800th episode of “shortened” Little Lighthouse, since I moved to Ohio. If you add over 200 episodes from Utah and Louisiana, we’re way pass 1000 episodes. Other than that, we give you another average Little Lighthouse show (which is way beyond anything in the podcast universe). We start off with veterans: Paul Weller and Richard Thompson. Another veteran is our good friend Mike Watt, who has a new album with his Italian friends Stefano Pilia and Paolo Mongardi. We also have new tunes by John Larson from Providence, Lava Fangs from Melgourne, Sticker Clun from Sydney, Magic Fig from San Francisco and Street Panther from Montreal. A special treat is a great new singer, debuting at The Little Lighthouse, Grace Cummings from Melbourne.
