William looks back at the career of bass player Charlie Haden, who died earlier this month - starting from when he was the 2-year old yodelling Cowboy Charlie on the Haden Family Radio Show.
He features excerpts of a number of tracks from his 1969 album Liberation Music Orchestra. The complete album will be played in Sound Lounge on Tuesday 29 July.
