APRIL IS BIRTHDAY MONTH...
Seems like a whole lot of folks I know celebrate birthdays in April
(my birthday even squeaks in there at the end of the month)...
So this month's entire show is a tribute to folks born in April... including a whole slew of artists whose music we love to play in the Lounge...
A set by exotica king Martin Denny,
a set of favorites featuring other musical styles we enjoy,
and a whole other set of exotica to close off the show.
So, join us for a birthday cocktail, or two, or three...
