Playlist for the Unpopular Music Webcast for December 2, 2017

A qualified disaster. A freeform if not unformed program, marred by technical problems, mostly fixed here. Wait for the parts you'll like, fix yourself a cup of tea during the rest.

"The Nearness of You" was skipped in the archive. It was originally placed after "Indian Lady," but was swapped out when I realized I needed to add a minute-and-a-half or so to the first hour, and then reinserted into a place where it didn't fit after I realized that all but the first thirty seconds of the Ligeti track was lost somewhere in transit, only to have the segue editor mangle it.
