First off, Happy New Year to all. The first Boudin Barndance radio program of 2021 was a look back at favorite releases from 2020 with the last two sets of the show devoted to our top 10 or so for the year. In addition to the radio, I’ve been contributing reviews to the Rhode Island Suburban Newspapers and other publications since 1992 (save for a few years stretch). You can check my write-up of 2020 Barndance favorites at the following link:
