visit the artist's website!

Hey - the 100th post on this blog! w00t! I had a real good time putting the playlist together this week - couldn't wait to spin it! In addition, requests were taken from the listeners on FB. Sunday, while everyone else was watching the Beatles special, I was playing Kenny Burrell's "Night Song" and having my heart and soul moved, and thrilling to the breathtaking statements he makes throughout! We heard a great one from that, and we continue exploring "Happenings" by Bobby Hutcherson. As a finale - we delved into another amazing & lengthy cut - this time from Charlie Haden.  If you enjoy the show or even just the playlists, come say hi and give us a like on the Facebook Page.

Compelling album by piano great Ron Miller

What a beautiful day! Today's show was a bit of a surprise - Mariann hurt her leg and had to stay home, doctor's orders! Nonetheless - it was a blast, as always. The ride from Palm Coast to Saint Augustine was the best one yet - windows down, sunshine and 78 degrees, awesome! It looks like I will be taking over the show, and Mariann will guest dj from time to time. I'm pretty excited and happy to be back 'in the groove'. Thanks for listening & for stopping by! - Kendo
