Playlist for 12-10-2019 WFCF - December Creations Part 2!

We also got to listen to the first track of Walt Dickerson's debut album, now that I got my warped copy flattened at Tone Vendor (did you know that you could do that?) and a lengthy classical excursion from Art Farmer and Jim Hall.

Playlist for 6-18-2013 WFCF - Jazz Greats!

Uh-oh... a themed show! This week's show wass brought to us by the letter "S"; that is to say; all the song titles begin with the double curve. I love these shows because songs and albums are chosen that ordinarily might get overlooked, but are worthy of our time; and it steps up the variety factor! It's the last show in the old WFCF studio!! I'm going to miss it, especially the mood lighting, but I'm looking forward to the new equipment, furniture, lobby et al and the overall sense of adventure. Thanks for tuning in/stopping by! - Kendo
