Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge August 28, 2019

On this week’s Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge radio show we took a decidedly determined detour from our usual Tiki music to honor the occasion of the Burning Man festival, taking place this week in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, and where this radio show aired for the first time in 2002 on Radio Free Burning Man.

Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge show is broadcast every Wednesday, 5-6 pm Eastern Standard Time (2-3 pm on the West Coast and 10-11 GMT in Europe) at http://www.radiofairfax.org. 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

Past shows from this year are now available to listen to in their entirety at: https://www.mixcloud.com/Flashfriend/

  2. “Face Beside the Fire” was figuratively found on the 1960 landmark LP: The Savage and the Sensuous Bongos released by Don Ralke and His Orchestra.

  3. “Downtown” by Tony Hatch was a hit song for Petula Clark in the Sixties and was sung for us by Liz Callaway – the sister of Ann Hampton Callaway – on her 2001 perusable production: The Beat Goes On, featuring Alan Rybeck on Piano.

  4. “Fireside Eye” was composed, arranged and conducted by John Williams of Star Wars fame for the 1960 to ’62 television series, Checkmate, and is finely furnished on the historical document: Jazz on Film…Crime Jazz! spotlighting the talents of Jimmy Rowles on Piano.

  8. “Panty Raid” comes from San Francisco’s The Aquamen on their peremptory production: Do the Alkeehol! (And Other Hits).
