Be sure to listen to Dr. Zarkov's Tiki Lounge next Wednesday, 5-6 P.M. Eastern Time, on Fairfax Public Access/WEBR Radio, which can be heard on the Internet at: http://www.fcac.org/webcasting/webcast.htm

The theme this week was spring, which also will be the theme of the next two shows as well. Over the course of them, you will notice that there is very little Hawaiian music included. When I was looking through my music collection for spring-themed songs, I puzzled why none of my Hawaiian CDs had any of these songs. After a few seconds it suddenly dawned on me: “D’oh! They don’t have spring in Hawaii!”

I will be playing the only one I could find on my next show on April 28: “Joy Spring” by Lyle Ritz and Herb Ohta from their CD: A Night of Ukulele Jazz – Live at McCabe's Guitar Shop. Of course, Hawaiians have tons of songs about flowers, but for this year I’m sticking to good old jazz, Latin and pop.
