This Week's Playlist Coming Shortly

April 13-20

I just got back from a wonderful trip back home to New Orleans. I did not have any time to put together any new shows for this week, so I have rotated out last week's shows with my normal "weekend" Classic Jazz set.

I will work on 5 new hours of music for Tuesday, April 14. Until then, enjoy a rebroadcast of some of my earlier shows.

Take care,
Banzai Bill White
