hey there, blog readers. well, here's the playlist for this past tuesday's show. record time for me. (i'm avoiding paying work today.) i've decided to slightly change some of the details i give in the playlist -- i'll no longer list composer if i know it. i often don't. and why keep listing 'rodgers, hart' for some songs but not others they wrote? stuff like that. i will, however, list non-standard composers, personal fave composers, and gershwin (espec 'squared') whenever i feel moved and/or know. what can i say -- it's a quirk.
and, although i may have noted this earlier on in a blog entry, the label i note is always the original label -- sometimes, however, i play from reissues or comps that don't list the original label. if you're looking for a track and see that, for example, the label listed is decca but cannot find a recording with that track for sale -- it may be available on a reissue label. it's detective work.
when ppl ask me where to buy records, i say, if you're in the boston area -- stereo jack's in cambridge; if you're looking online, try amazon or, espec for out-of-print/used items, gemm.com. good luck!
