PLAYLIST FOR “COMMENCEMENT SPEECHES” (6.7.14)

7 Jun

Just imagine: you’re sitting on an metal folding chair or in the stands of a stadium, the sun is beating down, and I’m delivering a litany of what I consider the truths and facts of life. That’s how you feel every week listening to the show? That’s not what I was going for. Think graduation, think the possibilities and potentials of the future, think an hour of musical advice to graduates!

PLAYLIST FOR “CROSSOVERS: JAZZ VS COUNTRY” (5.3.14)

3 May

Good singers can sing practically anything, brave singers have tried at times to cross over from Jazz to Country and the other way, but the smart singers never lose themselves nor their way when traveling in unfamiliar territory. I think this is a collection of smart singers.  The Buddy Rich Big Band got tossed in there mostly to raise the decibel level.
