This should be a pajama day. A ghoul-haunted, dank tarn (Edgar Allan's creativity, not mine) has settled in, weather-wise and brain-wise. Like that amontillado bricked-up cavern (which this old stone house of mine sometimes reminds me of), the mitre is growing (good for brandy, rotten for the psyche). Ugh. Can't we have a few more Honey Crisp days, with cider donuts and blue skies and pretty foliage ON the trees??? Guess not. Another Ugh.
Maybe if he'd actually tried cider donuts,
things would have gone differently for him.
BUT we can have sun in the studio! So I've chosen a Sunny Side of Broadway theme for this coming SUNday. A Sun's Gonna Shine edition. A Spread A Little Sunshine ode. Because I'm in favor of total denial (on many fronts) and we can always make believe sunglasses, sandals sans socks, and SPF 40 are still required. The sun's at my window (and love's at my door) and all that sort of thing.
Sunglasses in the rain...
and sunglasses that come with their OWN rain.
So that means sunbeams from Good News, Pippin, The Fantasticks, Big River, In The Heights, Radio Gals...I mean, we'll toss a few rainy selections in the mix, just for a reality check, but they'll be the light showery versions. No downpours. Gentle drips only. :)

Oh and shameless plug: Jazz90.1's 50th Birthday happens on Wednesday (11/1/23)! A school project of like 10 watts has bloomed into a 15,000 watt 24/7 radio station, thanks to mucho financial support from yous guys, and a morass/myriad roster of volunteers. Incredible! So if you haven't dropped a few pennies in the "old man's hat" yet, please consider a donation. That way you'll continue to hear this wacky Broadway show, and all the other jazzy programs (of many techni-colors) that only an independent radio station can bring you. Just go to Jazz901.org to do that...or call the station at 585 966 5299, and tell 'em Broadway sent ya!
