With the sun leaving us alone a few more hours than Spring or Summer this weekend, I decided to do a show that saluted the more thoughtful autumn.  Ballads to be sure, but a few mid-tempo numbers too…

Enjoy!

This week’s episode is a return to form – after a month of fun & games with this show.  I appreciate you indulging me with this over the last bit, but with the end of summer comes the end of fun & games…right? 🙂

Anyway, do enjoy this tour de force of swing, standards & Sondheim.

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 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.”

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!

This week’s show was recorded at 2am Friday night into Saturday morning.  It has a loose & mellow feel to it.  You’ll hear some blues, some up-tempo numbers & some stunning Broadway show stoppers.  You’ll even hear some 3am New York City sirens…

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 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!
