I second that! Zarkov's choices are consistently good ! Lot's of real Jazz, which I love! Also check out Koop Kooper and Digitiki's stuff, when you get a chance. These men know music!

Awww, gee!!! This place is like celebrating Christmas every day of the week!!! It is nice to pause from making/performing music to occasionally dig another person's playlist. So, I guess I will just have to check out Koop and , too. I might eventually take a pause from being self-indulgent to actually share a little from my collection of audio treasures, too.

Thanks so much for all your kind words. I hope you enjoy the May 12 show. I will be getting back to more exotica after three weeks of Spring-themed jazz but I think the next show will be one of my best.
