February 22, 202618:42:54Thank you for talking about James Galway.
I’m sure you know flutist Erv Monroe. I used to live up the street from him in Indian Village, and I met James Galway at a party at Erv’s house. Our conversation was ever-so-short, but he was VERY nice!
Speaking of flutists, Jean-Pierre Rampal once kissed me!

January 25, 202618:14:17I love your show! I just discovered it and when you played that lively rendition of what I know as “Brazil”, I was hooked. I tried to catch the identity of the piece, but all I caught was Cincinnati Pops. I scanned your Playlist for anything that looked familiar — I saw Stan Getz: Move! Is that it? I am familiar with the song as the theme used in Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil” and I also associate it with Xavier Cugat, but I’m not sure of its provenance. Would love to buy the album. Anyway, thank you!
