May is Asian Heritage Month so we'll tackle a classic by Japanese director Akira Kurosawa that inspired part of Star Wars: 1958's The Hidden Fortress as scored by Masaru Satoh. We also pay tribute to a lot of fallen drummers as of late amongst talking concerts in the Lower Mainland this week. As with CITR's web server, podcasts are working again.
