Show 72: September 2008

First airing on September 6... Repeat on September 20

This month's show is a little bit more guitar-oriented
than our last couple of vibes-heavy shows.

Guitar man Al Caiola, born on September 7, 1920,
is our the Artist of the Month...

And our cocktail is a new creation, based on an old
Don the Beachcomber drink dating back to the 1930s...
