Note: The bulk of this episode was in honor of the Golden Palominos‘  reunion show (there were more, but at the time only one was announced) on May 7, 2010 in New York City. The reunion focuses on the version of the band that existed from 1985-1987, featuring Syd Straw, who came into her own as a singer-songwriter after leaving the Palominos, as the chief vocalist.

This episode also functions as an homage to recently deceased Morris Pert (1947-2010), a member of the jazz-rock fusion group Brand X and a percussionist who worked with the likes of Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Paul McCartney, and Peter Hammill.  He was also a prominent composer, having written three symphonies.
