Atomic Age Cocktail Party

Record Shelf Roulette (159)

This week on the program, it’s something we're calling “Record Shelf Roulette.” We’re digging deep into the record library and pulling out some great cuts. These are songs that don’t necessarily fit into a particular theme but are still fun to play. Really, some of the best bits of musical magic happen when you just pull a record randomly off the shelf and put it on the hi-fi. We’ll hear from The Ames Brothers, Corky Hale, Al Hirt, Eartha Kitt, and many more.
