Greetings Friends:
Thanks to Zil & Hiro from Bagpak Music in New York, I’m pleased to let you know that you can now find choice music that, for the most part, you may have heard played on the radio show through the show’s new online store.

I’ve been asked at one time or another “where can I find this music?” Digital music is increasingly becoming more and more of the norm for those of us with CD’s, computers, and mp3 players. Still, it’s not always easy to find a favorite banger in places such as iTunes or eMusic.

This, peeps, is where the store comes in. It’s our way of opening the door for you to sort through current and past favorites that I recommend you check out. If you’d like to explore more than what’s featured on the page, you can visit Bagpak Music’s online store for more digital music goodies to keep you in stitches.

You’ll find the link to the store on the right sidebar of the show’s web site. Click there and allow your mind to wander and savor.

I hope you enjoy the picks I’ve selected, and as always comments and feedback are welcome.

Peace.

It’s the beginning of Summer 2007 (with apologies to our friends in the Southern Hemisphere), and with it comes the last few weeks of June.

Yes folks, it’s that time again where the halfway point of the year has been reached. And so it’s time to reach back to share the music of 2007 so far that I recommend for your listening and support. It’s the Halfway Rewind Special, where Part One (this week’s show) focuses on the albums and compilations. Part Two, next week’s show, will look at the singles and EP’s.

Hope you find what you like. Enjoy and will catch you back here next week.

For the last three shows, you’ve been hearing some very cool guestmixes. Now it’s time to play catchup, as the music keeps stacking up higher and higher. Plus there are also those choices that need an airing more than once.

Lots of cool new music in the show, including some that are now available domestically. After the next show will come time to really catch you up on some of the best of 2007 so far. It’s my annual Halfway Rewind Special. Per usual, the first week will focus on the albums and the second on the singles & EP’s. The shows will air during the last two weeks of this month. More details coming soon.

Stay jazzy!
