Our first WGN Radio show for the month of April ran a gamut that included AXPONA, the largest audio expo in the country, the 85th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz, Chicago jazz icon, Dee Alexander, auto industry updates from Consumer Guide‘s Publisher, Tom Appel, “zombie cicadas,” and, trust us, a whole lot more.
If you missed it, or if you’d like to hear it again, the podcast is all yours if you just click this link.
With a show that full, you know we had to have a well stacked turntable and, since you asked, here’s a bunch of musical goodies that found their way on to that show’s playlist.
Billie Eilish “The 30th”
The Isley Brothers “Shout”
The Doobie Brothers “Listen To The Music”
Bobby Broom “Humpty Dumpty”
Wizard Of Oz Cast “We’re Off To See The Wizard”
Judy Garland “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”
Metropolitan Jazz Octet “Twenty Four Hours A Day”
Metropolitan Jazz Octet “The Blues Are Brewin'”
Samara Joy “Can’t Get Out Of This Mood”
David Rose “The Stripper”
Terry Nolan “There Was A Fungus Among Us” (With The Anita Kerr Singers)
Benny Carter & Benny Carter Quartet “My Blue Heaven”
Jo Jones “My Blue Heaven”
Bob Crosby Orchestra “My Blue Heaven”
Duane Eddy “My Blue Heaven”
Fats Domino “My Blue Heaven”
Sue Foley “Oh Babe It Ain’t No Lie”
Buddy Guy “What Kind Of Woman Is This?”
The Beatles “Here Comes The Sun”
Beyonce “Blackbird”
Hopefully, assuming we can get the image of zombie cicadas out of our heads, we’ll give this show thing another try this coming Saturday night.
And, hopefully, you’ll join us to see how it all works out.
Stay safe,
Steve & Johnnie
