Dr. Zarkov's Tiki Loung 6-27-12: Birthdays & a Death Too Young - Tiki Music

DZ Dr. Zarkov Member Joined: Mar 07, 2008 Posts: 644	DZ Dr. Zarkov Posted posted on Thu, Jun 28, 2012 3:55 PM Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge Playlist: May 23, 2012 On this week’s show we celebrated the birthdays of several great musicians who entered this mortal coil during the judicious month of June. You may notice that the last song played on this show – which like my other shows follows the last talk break -- is not by any stretch of imagination Tiki music. Fellow Radio Fairfax DJ Debbie Sears’ stepson, Niall Coti-Sears, who was a U.S. Marine, was killed in combat in Afghanistan on June 22, the day after his 23rd birthday. He loved music and was a talented pianist and guitar player. Deb, who had raised him as her own son, hosts the weekly show Prog Rock Diner and wanted to play Neil Young’s 2006 album, Living With War, in its entirety on her show, to commemorate Niall’s passing. However, the station’s agreement with RIAA prohibits us from playing more than three tracks from any one album during a single show, so I suggested that other DJs help her out by playing tracks from that recording on their shows. Given the circumstances, I hope you will indulge this one-time departure from the usual genres of music on my show. Please note that next week’s show will be a repeat of a past Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge Independence Day show because the radio station will be closed on July 4. 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. Some fans choose to record it on their computers to listen to later.

Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge Playlist: May 23, 2012

On this week’s show we celebrated the birthdays of several great musicians who entered this mortal coil during the judicious month of June.
