    Anne Richmond Boston - "I Should Be Happy" and "The Swimming Pool Q's "

    05/10/2026 | 1h
    Graham is joined by Anne Richmond Boston of The Swimming Pool Q's to discuss not just the Q's time on A&M records but also the puzzling story of Anne's second solo record. That album, titled "I Should Be Happy" and recorded in the early 90s, was finally released just last year after spending more than thirty years stuck on the proverbial shelf. Anne talks about rediscovering her creativity as a songwriter and musician as well as the joy of live performance. Also, water. And healthy food.
