December 24, 2025: Music sleuths trace a lost song to Nashville

Remember when we used to burn CDs?A lot of music made it around the world without being properly published in those early days of file sharing. So the “Lostwave community” steps in to hunt down the origins of unidentified music. In this case, music that was made in Boston and heard in Seattle required the help of a data geek in the Middle East to figure out that the originator lives right here among us in Nashville.  This is a production of Nashville Public Radio. Host/producer: Blake Farmer Editor: Tony Gonzalez
