August is such a fun month to do this show; this week it's yet another anniversary spectacullllare.

Count Basie, and I was swingin' the blues. Enjoy.

This week I was joined in the studio with fashion historian Ivan Sayers. He has a remarkable repository of knowledge, and I have seen about 50% of his collection. A separate thread and video to follow some day soon.

Chas: I just started listening to your podcasts this week - good stuff. Thanks!

 

[Chas]

You are most welcome! Remember, I will entertain requests for featured artist shows - or feature shows upon request. i.e. a vocal groups show, all trumpet player show or whatever you would like to hear.

Downloading your most recent podcast now. Excited to know about it, can't wait to listen.

n.b. the two guys on the talk show take up the first minute - this guy ALWAYS goes over a minute +. He's an actor. 'nuff said. I need to set up the podcasts for a minute over; OR he needs to get the frick out of the chair at his allotted time; he always treats my arrival as some sort of imposition.

 

[Miss Moonlight]

So funny, I just started it and thought... is this the right podcast? I mean, the ant zombie-fungus is interesting though it's old news... then more talk so I skipped ahead and YAY music!

 

[Chas]

Did I cue it up right this time? Counting on some feedback.

 

[Miss Moonlight]

Checking it out now...

There are a few moments of what sounds like 70s disco soul, then an announcer giving the call letters and motto and then the music! No talking,

Now I'm going to listen to the show. I absolutely love what you've put together. Well done!

 

[Chas]

That's Goulash. He's a Falkand Island war vet, bicycle freak and a bit of a nutter. Nice guy, though. Despite his passion for artificial music. Thanks for checking in. VERY much appreciated.

 

[Chas]

Today is Louis Armstrong's birthday, so it's a tribute to Pops. Swing it, Gate!
Also included free is a gold-plated faux-pas at the end of the show. Oops and :eeek:

Today's podcast is entitled "From Honolulu To Havana" - an all-Hawaiian and Cuban show. An odd pairing, perhaps, but I think it worked.

October 27th will be the broadcasting finale of "Sweet & Hot" as yours truly is moving to Melbourne, Australia. So if you're a fan of the show, I strongly recommend that you download as many podcasts as you need. I don't know for certain how long CiTR will be leaving the podcasts up.

Thanks very, very much to everyone in the FL who has tuned in. You make it all worthwhile.
