Guests: Cali RoseHosts: Stuart Yoshida, Doug Brown

Coming to you straight outta Culver City just outside the City of Angeles, Cali Rose - yes, that’s her real name - comes to talk to us about the beginnings of the CC strummers, affirms the power of the ukulele in music therapy, and takes us through her journey from studying nursing to full-time musician. So buckle up all you pandemic pluckers and players, as we come back to you after our winter break to give you a big dose of original songs and conversation.
