@portobelloexpress.bsky.social Hi, thanks for liking my show posts from last night.

I just listened to the first 2 cuts on B.P.M. Great stuff, and I’ll play one or both next Wednesday night.

If you can listen next Wednesday night 5-7 Eastern time, let me know when and I’ll play it then.

Iron Eyes Cody (aka the Crying Indian) played many Native American roles in Hollywood - he was really Espera Oscar de Corti, the son of Italian parents. [Insert head shake here.] Join me Tuesday 10/14 at 9pm as I play songs from Italian Americans and Native Americans on ☕UNCLE CON'S DINER🍔 WAPJ.org
