"Back to Work!" September 4, 2009

(Week 177)

UPDATE: For a limited time, download this program in 128k here: HOUR 1 and HOUR 2.

This RADIOLA! admits it's time to get cracking again--right after Labor Day, that is. Also, we sample the new Sophie Tucker compilation on Archeophone, and enjoy a few selections by the excellent Baby Soda Jazz Band.

Tune in Friday at 8 PM Eastern on WHCL (with direct streaming here). The show will be uploaded to my Live365 station this weekend.
