Miles Davis: Someday My Prince Will Come Bud Powell: The Last Time I Saw Paris Duke Ellington/Ray Nance: Day Dream John Zorn: Spillane
And my show proper? The first 40 minutes or so were, if I may say so myself, some of the best radio I've ever done. Then I horribly botched the segue from Everlast to Ben Harper. The rest fell in-between.

I'm thinking about making "Wigwam" my closing theme -- it's got that perfect combination of cheesy camp value and genuine musical pleasure.
