Jarvis ushers in the new year by flirting outrageously with the listeners! He plays some of Terje Isungset's Ice Music. Because he recently performed Peter and the Wolf at the RFH, Jarvis plays a recording of Sean Connery narrating Prokofiev's children's classic. To replace the BBC Seasons record, Jarvis tries a track from Percy Thrower's Gardening Year -- or, he suggests playing a different version of Hey Joe every month. Then he reads an excerpt about Jimi Hendrix by Padgett Powell. And Alan Watts considers which is more dominant, brain or stomach? Birthdays: Van Dyke Parks, Sergio Leone and Todd Haynes. Valete: Captain Beefheart and Elisabeth Beresford.
