"Say Si Si" January 13, 2006 INTERNET ONLY

(Week 24)

I've always been one to push more envelopes than the Postal Service. This Live 365 only RADIOLA! is yet another chance I'm taking--that a Latin/Caribbean themed program will appeal to those who listen mainly for classic 20s and 30s jazz and pop. I've always loved the calypso of the 1930s, and Lou Danziger, who listens from California, suggested I delve into some of the delightful early Cuban material that has been reissued. I have included generous portions of both, along with US music that has been inspired and influenced by points South of the border. Enjoy!
