Given this weekend’s heat,  I can’t think of a better way to cool down than some great tunes, a dip in the water & a great cocktail.

This show provides the first former, you’re on your own for the latter two.

Enjoy!

This week’s episode is spring-like, because it is finally somewhat spring-like here in the Northeast.

So, there’s that.  But, I also bring you a special version of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ blending the Original London Cast album with one of my favorite bands in The Afghan Whigs doing a few covers, too.

Whatever it is you’re celebrating – in my case, just being alive & the wide-scale availability of chocolate! – I wish you nothing but well.

Enjoy!

This week’s show is short, sweet, tight, tidy & lively.

Since the holidays & through to last week’s epic 5-hour St. Patrick’s show, the shows have all mostly been well over 3 hours.  This week – and I think in ensuing weeks – I am going to aim for a 90 minute show.  I may occasionally go over that, but…

So, this week’s episode is all about Spring.  It is one of my favorite times of year – not too hot, not too cool.  Just right.

Kinda like this week’s show…

Enjoy!

This week’s show is dedicated to the women.  It’s all women all the time on this one.  The first half of the show is standard issue standards.  The second half has some of those, but it’s decidedly different from the first half.  You’ll hear some blues, rock, folk, country & more.

To the women!
