Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge Playlist: February 4, 2015

On this week’s show we took a slight detour from the world of Tiki-ness to celebrate the multifarious and magnanimous magnificence of Mardi Gras. As some of you are aware, the doctor’s family hails from Louisiana and for many generations helped to build, run and literally supply pharmaceuticals to New Orleans, which makes this annual musical migration something of a hopeful and hallowed hajj to the city that care forgot as well as the rest of southern Louisiana.

Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge is broadcast on Wednesdays, 5-6 pm EDT at: http://www.radiofairfax.org The show is broadcast live; no recorded shows are archived, but some listeners choose to record it on their computers to listen later. Radio Fairfax also can be heard on Tune In Radio at tunein.com, and streamed on smartphones by downloading the Tunein app. It also can be streamed on Roku and Google TV at: http://tinyurl.com/3uqfsz9
