Playlist for the Unpopular Music webcast for May 4, 2019

Greetings from Somerville, where April showers bring May showers. We have a few flower references regardless. There's the usual jazz/not jazz breakdown between hours one and two. We've got some faux-Wagner film music. Some legendary guitarists getting introspective. And of course some May flowers.

No Star Wars references except for an RIP to Peter Mayhew.
