Mystery Town
Hop in, because tomorrow Round the World with Cracklin’ Jane is going to free you from the four walls of today. We’ll be taking a tour of an unnamed secret town that is crammed with musicians of all stripes. In this town, generally the Streets run East-West and the Avenues run North-South; and there are a few roads and boulevards thrown in that cut diagonally across the grid as in any town, but every time we turn a corner, we are transported to a different year in history. After we somehow make our way back to Eastport, we’ll listen to Richard Diamond, Private Detective solve the Blind Man And The Cop Killer Case!
