Attention, please. Today, for Lesson 8 in the 101 Series, we sit cross-legged on the floor while Donovan hovers above us and sings songs about mountains, oceans, flowers, superheroes, tea, and girls with funny names.

Swing Time Ep. 2

by Leave a Comment

Whiffs of cigarette smoke drift upwards towards flickering electric lights and the bouncer is throwing out the next guy trying to find the way home. Deals in the private room out back and drinks at the bar. You can hear this music playing in the background putting everyone in the right frame of mind. This is episode 2 of “Swing Time” – The music of your blood and soul. Be sure to tip your waiter generously or your 86’d for good!

Swing Time Episode 1 (Debut)

by Leave a Comment

Ladies and Gentlemen, there comes a time in any respectable radio station’s programming when there must be a tip of the top hat and wave of a cane to some great tunes from the Great American Songbook and beyond. Or as it’s sometimes referred to, the Music of Your Life! Whatever the term, it is music to bring on whole new mood. So, dim the lights, spark up a Lucky Strike (because it’s your lucky night) and mix the Manhattans and martinis. Extra vermouth, please. Cool is in the room.
