Playlist Date & Time: 1/29/2009 4:00PM - 7:00PM
Program: Jazz from the French Market with Jelly Roll Justice or Suzanne Corley
"Colors" --- each of the songs (except Secret Love) involves the colors we see around each day and too often take for granted.
We had two groups of guests: (1) Chris Edmunds, Aurora Nealand and Charlie Halloran of the "Moonshiners" talking about their CD release party at Donna's next Monday, and (2) Gina Brown and friend on behalf of Xavier Prep highlighting "Remember When" fundraiser at the school this Saturday night.
