Episode 113: David Cousins of the Strawbs Returns

<p>David Cousins of the Strawbs returns to MRC! A guest way back on Episode 7, David joins me to discuss the new Strawbs album, The Magic of It All. The band's new record was recorded in Cape Town and has a decidedly South African flavor running through it. David was kind enough to tell me about the recording of the album, how the idea of recording in South Africa came about, the origins of some of the songs, and much more.</p> <p>I'd love to have your support for this independent podcast.
