"Less Dense in the Pants" July 3, 2015

(Week 431)

This RADIOLA! celebrates a diminishing abundance, among other things.

RADIOLA! streams continuously from my Live365 station. Lighter than on the air-cast here. Each RADIOLA! program is sent to subscribers on my email list (email here).

Here's something I'm really celebrating: the first part of my two-part profile appears in The American Rag this month (adapted by Russ Tarby from his piece in the April JAZFAX), and articles under my byline will be published there beginning in a month or so. I've submitted the first one, which has been accepted for publication. Please consider subscribing to The American Rag, which is an invaluable print resource for those who encourage keeping ragtime and traditional jazz alive in performance.
