Playlist for the closing weeks of 2017.

NAN gap playlist 1

A weekly tally of memorable things Steve Smith has stuck in his ears.

Regular playlists will resume next Monday, Jan. 8, on National Sawdust Log. Meanwhile, this is everything memorable that I spun or streamed between Dec. 18 and Dec. 31, 2017. Rest in peace, Kevin Mahogany and Roswell Rudd.
