Frank Sinatra ... and more

Some music from Frank Sinatra with Learning the Blues, also some more from Quincy Jones (and several more.)

A cool Brazil tune from Joanie Sommers with "Quiet Nights", the Garry Blake Orchestra with "The Odd Couple" theme, and "Two Note Samba". A musical variation of "Wives and Lovers".

You know, I don't really care for the lyrics of Wives & Lovers, seems a bit sexist for our current enlightened era, but I do like the music behind it and I hope you enjoy it as I do.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Dangerous Mission...

Dangerous mission for you

Shoutcast changed the way they handle their categories recently, specifically, they made it impossible list under "Standards" (what, they've never heard of Frank Sinatra ?!?).

Because of this restructuring, millions of music fans really need your help, why not use the share icon on the left of the page to tell others about this radio station and spare them from the inhumanity that is popular, mainstream music?

It's a tough mission, but remember, those less fortunate are counting on you to help them escape from dulldrum of rock & country.

New Tracks

Some new tracks, including something new from Nate Collinsworth. More female vocals from Astrud Gilberto, Lena Horne, the King Sisters and some smooth tracks from Augusto Martelli and Bernardo Pisano.

  • Nate Collinsworth - Blue and Deep
  • King Sisters - That Old Feeling
