Episode #174: Serenade for a Jive Turkey


On the annual calendar Star Time kicks off the second or third week of January. Then a new show appears every single week until I finally take a week off for Labor Day weekend. I mention this because, in the weeks immediately before that Labor Day break, the shows kind of coagulate and become something of a blur. After that sweet sabbatical I regain my sense of purpose just in time for autumn. But this week, it's the 30th consecutive episode, and I'm starting to get a little loopy. Reap the rewards.
