Since I’ve been penned up for the last 30 hours or so, I decided to bring a different show than usual to you.

It’s a blizzard here in NYC!  They’re expecting about 20 inches of snow or more by the time it’s over!

So, let’s let the music follow, right?  Most of this music is soft & snowy, too.  But, some simply evokes the spirit of the day. A snow day!  Remember a “snow day?”

Enjoy!

This week’s show is a bit on the downside, but in a lovely way.

Last week, we lost a musical legend & within the confines of this show – and its idiom – I attempt to bring you something of a tribute to David Bowie.

This is a very special episode for me.  There’s little-to-no jazz in this show, there’s no Broadway, but there are standards of a different kind.  These are the songs I cut my teeth on as a kid.  These songs start with the late 1960s & run through to today.

If you’re looking for a musical Rosetta Stone for me, this is it.

This week’s show is another special one for me & for Jennifer.

Ireland has meant so much to us both over the years – her trip when she was a little girl & our trips together through the years.

So, this year’s show is a reflection of that emotion.  It’s long, but it’s beautiful – just like its inspiration.

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!
