Our Hallowe’en Spooktacular! No, not true, just kidding, stay right where you are. We’re deep into autumn and we have a little autumn jazz from talented pianists, some still alive! But we also have other seasonal music, and some rock and some roll, plus New York music and guitar and orchestras, other languages, advice from Helen Gurley Brown, and other goofiness. Download it now while it’s still available, because you never know.

This week is quiet because that’s the way we like it. Get your Rocktoberfest elsewhere and come here to recover. We have early James Taylor and Monty Python and Iris DeMent, we have Debbie Reynolds and Norah Jones and Snoop, new music from Jewel and Patty Griffin, music from TV and movies, folk stuff, indie stuff, Coke, more Manhattan Tower, and even more than that. Not a show tune in sight (sorry, that was our mistake, not yours). Please try it on for size.

October means music and stuff. We have both music AND stuff: old commercials, old songs, old instrumentals, nightmares, and a little newer music thrown in for the kids (whom we salute since they are our future). We don’t need to elaborate because you can read, right? It’s all there on the playlist. Block off the next 90 minutes and proceed to the first song.
