Join David Humphrey and his guest, the renowned New York painter Gregory Amenoff. Listen in as Gregory shares a curated playlist of tracks,from the soulful rhythms of Howlin Wolf's take on Willie Dixon's classics to the tender melancholy of Bob Dylan's "You Belong to Me" and the country nostalgia of Merle Haggard's rendition of "Miss the Mississippi and You." They discuss Gregory's dual roles as an artist and educator, the relationship between his abstract paintings and the songs he loves, and the ever-present thread of sentimentality that weaves through his life and work.

Gregory Amenoff (b. 1948) is a contemporary American abstract painter who employs both biomorphic  forms in rich hues and thick textures.
