      <title>Radio Kenya - The Random FM Air Waves floating around Nairobi</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[You know Americans don't get around very much, at least in person.
This is truly a sad state - seeing how much of an impact "American culture" has upon the globe.
Me - well, although not money rich, I'm rich in living experience in many parts of the world due to "right placement" &amp; timing or should I say a partner &amp; wife who has the ways &amp; knowledge to hustle internationnal gigs from many angles...   
An international expat hillbilly musicaneer playing connect-the-dots on a grande scale.  So here is one of things Iove to do - record random local radio...

Here's some Nairobi radio from different times in 2006....
Dig these East African guitar boy bands, one-man guitar &amp; benga classics.
