Just enough time to dig into Don McRae’s wide reaching interview with Pat Cummins on the eve of the WTC Final.

It was 31 years since he had released an album of new material, Ain’t But the One Way, which he had abandoned midway through, vanishing completely from the studio and leaving the producer Stewart Levine to patch together what he could.
