This week’s show is a whirlwind series of songs that cuts across most of the music that you’ve come to expect here.  Also, I include one of my favorite stories about RCA Studios & the recording of “Sweeney Club.”

This week’s show is dedicated to America – simple as that.  We’re not perfect, but we’re open to getting there.  To a degree, that’s all that matters!

This is one of my favorite shows to do each year & this year was no different!

Enjoy!

This week’s show is again a pretty strong, barnstormer of a show.

That said, it also includes a tribute to Jeff Buckley – as he passed 18 years ago yesterday, May 29th.

It’s an ironic title, considering I didn’t play any of the many versions of Summertime that I own.

But, with Memorial Day Weekend upon us here in the States, it is the unofficial kickoff of Summertime…

This week’s show is all up-tempo music dedicated to making you feel good!  Perfect for a BBQ, block party or a top-down drive around town!

Enjoy!

As you may know by the time you read this that B.B. King passed away Thursday evening in Las Vegas around 9:40pm local time on May 14th, 2015.  A combination of a small bout of insomnia & a desire to deliver a fresh show in partial tribute to this legend, I decided to work overnight to put that together.

The first or so hour is all B.B. King.  The second hour is music that would have inspired B.B & almost any blues musician.

I hope you enjoy this small detour & devotion to a master.

May the Mississippi keep flowing…

The playlist is as follows:

This week’s show is a tip of the cap to Big Band – thus the name, “Big Band Bonanza!”

You’ll hear the usual suspects plus folks you might be surprised to hear, too.

Enjoy!
