This month, we look back out to the west coast, sharing music from a group of SF Bay Area composers and artists. Music by Jon Myers and Madelyn Merkey. Elisabeth Blair of the podcast 'Listening to Ladies' shares her segment with long time San Francisco resident, Pamela Z. All wrapped up with the start of a short series of monthly tributes to the bright stars lost in the Ghost Ship fire in Oakland. This month we will also listen to music by JSUN McCarty aka Dilated Ears.

The Cutty Strange unveils a new and fresh format, starting November 2015. Programs will be made up of pieces by musicians, storytellers, poets, sound artists, and others. These commissioned works aim to bring new light to the broadcast art medium. In its first season, archived here, the show featured full episodes of select San Francisco Bay Area artists who shared their music, methods and stories.
