Today we spend time with musician Char Charmaine of Oakland's Primal Wound. Char curated the entire two hours of music to the theme, "Dark Night of the Soul"

“Some come dark and strange like dying

Crows and ravens whistling

Lines of weeping, strings of crying

So much said in listening

Songs to aging children come

Aging children, I am one”

- Joni Mitchell
