The theme was Food and (a little) Drink -- songs about food, see titles. Kind of fun, and some good music. I think I went to far with the theme, with the result that some songs were less wonderful than others.

A note about the source of two of the songs -- Swing Legacy's Even the Chickens Are Dancing, available from their website -- swinglegacy.com and well worth it. the album is just released. this group deserves its name.

anyone who wants to suggest a theme for future shows, please do.

as always, comments and questions can be left here or sent directly to jazz@ukiahguy.com

many thanks for listening.
