Welcome to Monday Jazz!

Greetings to Dan and listeners. Keep that Latin music going . Never saw so many facist heads exploding.

Alright, Dan! Coming out swinging with the latin jazz, love it!

Usually I mute the Super Bowl halftime show. Glad I watched that one

That lady’s restaurant in Williamsburg is probably mobbed with tourists today

I honestly fell asleep because the first half of the game was just so boring haha

Of course it got more exciting after I went back to my apartment to watch something else. Go birds I suppose!

Glad to see you all here!

Tandy the Super Bowl games were mostly boring for the first 15 years

I was surprised when games started getting close....

Shout out to Dan for making the trip . Quite a sacrifice to give up a parking spot in South Philadelphia

You tellin' me....

There used to be dominant juggernaut teams. Now most teams fairly equal with salary cap and free agency

Be careful . Parking spot violence and vandalism very real issues. Two guys had a shootout on A street in Kensington

I am about to go on a cruise up the Delaware River Gap to the Lehigh valley, it's always nice to have your show as the soundtrack when I take this little drive. Cheers!

Yeah, I love PRB on the car radio!

Sounds fun Tandy. I actually ventured out Sunday for The 214th birthday celebration of Charles Dickens at Clark Park. Indeed it was the Best of Times

I forgot Clark Park has that statue. Haven't been there lately.

2025 was the worst of times.

Hey Marcus. He wanted no statues built of him but there are 3 in the world. We have one of them in the most convoluted way

Good God! These musicians are throwing down! F

My car radio would be tuned into WMGK on Sunday nights for Little Steven show. When I started the car Monday Morning the DiBella show would be on . That was indeed the worst of Times!

Yeah the SC Trio had one a couple years back I loed too, FREE HOOPS. Drew Gress bass and Kenny Wollesen drums SC on piano...

Apparently Jeff Bezos has bought the Rotunda. Dan will be showing "Melania" on Thursday, unless he bails. $18 admission.

I think it was 50 years ago this month everyone was buying Songs In The Key Of Life. What an iconic album

Didn’t know Dan was fan of horror movies

I bought Songs almost 50 years ago. I misplaced the 7 inch somehow.

Oh yeah they had that extra insert. It was a double album to begin with .

That run of 70s Stevie records is about as geat as anything, in any artistic discipline.

Perhaps we should take another look at Secret Lives of Plants.

Musicians who successfully cajoled USA to institute a Federal Holiday. It’s Stevie Wonder and nobody else!

Love SECRET LIFE. Syreeta singing "Like a Flower"!

Mal!

Birds of Australia!

Always in awe of Carmen McRae song I thought I knew You Well written by Tony Joe White . Tremendous phrasing and tempo

I'll check it out!

BUSKIRK favorites SUN RA will be featured later this month on the PBS series AMERICAN MASTERS.

Yeah, how 'bout that!

Perhaps next years half time show

Crazy the Mothership has never landed at the Half-time show....

In ten years PBS may do another American Masters about Marshall.

Special thanks to Dan for keeping the Jeanne Lee canon alive. Truly underrated singer

They are rerunning the great Hazel Scott episode for anyone who didn’t previously view

Looks like 46 degrees Wednesday . Anyone wanting to join me at the beach let me know

Wonder how this didn’t make it to Top 40 radio in 1975

The Miracles Gay Anthem!

Although Tom Robinson did get FM airplay

I heard about the Tom Robinson song long before I heard it...

More Altin Gün? Haven't we heard enough by now?

Just another umlaut band.

Grammy winners to boot!

Apologies. I'd never heard of them.

I've played them a bit, sorta a Turkish psych revival band...

Hüsker Dü is my favorite umlaut band. BÖC is also great, especially Astronomy.

I'm struggling to think of other umlaters...

(runs through industrial band names ..)

Really? Rob Reiner's last film had an umlaut over the title.

Feel bad for Dan no football for 7 months. Maybe he could take up a hobby. Like record collecting

I saw T-Rex third on the bill at the Spectrum in 1971.

I just throw ball and measure where they land. for fun.

Yes, Patrick. Dan's obsession is remarkable. I used to be like that long ago.

Thanks again Dan Everyone have a great week and DO NOT watch a repeat of that Kid Rock haltimevshow

Thank all, next Time!
