Playlist
A lazy man's entry, this. One step up from writing one's memoirs at a bus stop.
It's Friday night. I'm sitting in for a friend @ WVUD, d.j.-ing the station's regular week night jazz show. It tends to be quiet, as far as the phones are concerned. Once in a while, a listener may call, interested in a track played a half hour or so ago. Pleasantries are exchanged, artist appreciation is noted, call is ended, and it's back to picking through the cd's. Looking for that perfect mix.

Jimmy Smith, commander of the Hammond B-3, soloed out this week, so he'll be the heavy on the playlist tonight.
So, for what it's worth, here's the playlist going out on the airwaves tonight, in the 30 mile radius of the station.

Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters "Ice Cream Man" from Grateful Heart
Jimmy Smith "Let's Stay Together" Root Down
Jimmy Smith "Tuition Blues" Dot Com Blues
