Artist Track Comments
Big Guitars from Texas  Holiday for Hoss   Favoriting I like this track but I mostly play it when I need an extra minute to get ready for my show-- like at 6 o'clock in the morning!

Irma Thomas  Hold on to God's Changing Hand   Favoriting Even an atheist like me is moved by the passion of gospel music-- and the Soul Queen of New Orleans sings with passsion as well as anyone 
Ink Spots  Java Jive   Favoriting This 1940 vocal smash was written by Milt Drake (Druckman); his family emigrated from Transylvania. Borther Ervin put lyrics to "Tico Tico" & "Perdido", brother Arnold wrote text for "Batman" & "Superman"
