 Common Tone does for modern classical music what Car Talk does for auto repair. Hosted by Dr. David Gaines and James Landon Jones, two old friends who love music and laughter, Common Tone seeks to promote the best in modern classical music to a new audience while being entertaining and fun. It features frequent digressions into politics, culture and other topics of the day, all handled with the same level of irreverence.Primary Format :
