A Brass Band Breakfast

Traveling overseas is an adventure that I really enjoy. But, you really need to be prepared... things aren’t the same. Breakfast for example. Here in the 'States, we grew up with Kellogg’s Corn Flakes and over in northern England, they might have Bubble and Squeak on the menu. And if you are uncomfortable trying new and strangely named food, you’ll be in trouble overseas. On this episode of Wind and Rhythm, we’ll explore two contrasting bands... one from the home of Bubble and Squeak (that would be Queensbury in the U.K.) and Corn Flakes from Battle Creek, Michigan. Read the full description.
