The Everly Brothers - Roving Gambler > Down In The Willow Garden

Put this record on of a Saturday morning and make breakfast for your family. You just might find yourself transported to a log cabin somewhere high in the mountains of Kentucky.

Are there mountains in Kentucky?

Charlie Parker: My Little Suede Shoes

I'm happy to report that Walkathon, the Chicago-based musician, synth maven, and vinyl enthusiast, has contributed a tasty guest mix featuring all manner of melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. Stream it here at your leisure.

Deux - Everybody's Night

This is available for purchase here and here, so I took the link down by choice, but everyone should be sure to hear the delightfully anti-social synth work at 2:28.

Walter Carlos - Sonata in E Major (D. Scarlatti)

Tommy Roe - Dizzy

This must be the Guinness world record holder for most key changes in a #1 hit. Strum along with the chord progression here.

Brute Force - King of Fuh

And you wonder why people don't worship butane...

New Viva show (#136) in the archive, featuring works by W.A. Mozart, G. Rossini, F. Chopin, D. Scarlatti, C. Debussy, E. Grieg, M. de Falla, R. Sakamoto, I. Stravinsky, E. Van Halen, K.

Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin - Henry and James

The other day a musical couplet popped into my head -- "Henry and James / Remember their names" -- and I thought oh, that's an old '80s song, but who's it by? So I Googled to find this. I think I must have heard it once on the radio in the '80s. I'm certain I haven't heard it since. And the moral of the story is: if I "remembered their names" for 25+ years, it must be a good song. 

Good for a November Sunday where it's getting dark at 2 PM. There's more good songs on the album, too; I may post them soon.

Legendary longtime commenter and playlist contributor is back with another hour of sound for your pleasure. Enjoy anytime in the Viva archives.
