Well, they didn’t change the locks on the front door so after my summer hiatus I was finally back at my Turntable For One. That’s definitely something I could cheer about. To spread the cheers around I found some songs about cheering and singers we could all cheer for. Plus I gave four hearty and heartfelt cheers to the Village Vanguard which turned 90 years old this year.
