Standout tunes heard today:
1st Wave Deep Cuts
- Night Boat To Cairo-Madness (This ska-flavored track could segue with "Gangsters" by The Specials.)
'50s Gold
- Red Sails In The Sunset-Fats Domino (There are many covers of this, but this is probably the only version with a "Blueberry Hill"-style arrangement.)
Acoustic Guitar Instrumentals
- Dancing With Angels-Meadowlark/Rick Cyge (This fingerstyle guitar piece would flow smoothly into "Morgan Magan" by The Chieftains.)
Chill Instrumental
- Adriatic-Che-Yung (Proof that B-flat major is a good key for establishing a groove with a relatively subtle ray of hope.)
Classic Folk
- Day Is Done-Peter, Paul & Mary ("Day Is Done" contains one of folk music's most endearing tropes. The lyrics remind listeners that we're all interconnected and that it's neighborly to lend a helping hand when you can.)
Luna
- Bodegas Groove-Carlos Henriquez (A cool rhuma instrumental, fit for a dance lesson or "Pink Panther" cartoon underscoring. Santana's "Flor d'Luna (Moonflower)" could segue with it.)
Real Jazz
- And What If I Don't?-Herbie Hancock (Brass and piano accompaniment for a hip strut or a pony trot, depending on the passage.)
Watercolors
- It's Time-Eliane Elias (Pleasant piano with Take 6-style vocals.)
