As I was away for a couple of days to attend the Ray Conniff Fan Reunion in Haarlem / Amsterdam, I
had no time to produce a new show. This is a rerun of show No. 115, originally broadcast July 23,
2023.
The basic theme of my show on June 8 is “A Touch of Latin”, but it includes other songs as well,
when we e.g. take a walk on Memory Lane. It also includes two requests, which don’t have a Latin
touch. Anyway, I hope you will enjoy the songs I picked by Bob Moore, Billy Butterfield, James Last,
The Hollyridge Strings, Al Hirt, Dean Martin, Petula Clark, Oliver Nelson and Steve Allen, Cleo Laine,
Carlos Romanos, Caterina Valente, Bert Kaempfert, Percy Faith, Edmundo Ross, Alessandro
Alessandroni, The Sandpipers, Doris Day, and Ray Conniff. Listen up and enjoy!
(This is a rerun of show No. 181.)
Barbra Streisand and Laufey, The Sandpipers, Don Cherry, Petula Clark, Brenda Lee, Louis
Armstrong, Nat King Cole, The Andrews Sisters, Percy Faith, Buddy Greco, Gordon Jenkins, The
Arbors, Alan Jackson, Dean Martin, Bert Kaempfert, James Last and Berdien Stenberg, Pink Martini
and Ray Conniff are the artists featured in my show No. 214 on June 15, 2025. Listen up and enjoy
the hotchpotch!
On June 22 the ingredients of my musical cocktail include songs by Brenda Lee & Jimmy Sturr,
Buddy Greco, Al de Lory, Hugo Montenegro, Perry Como, Andy Williams, The Golden Gate
Strings, Nat King Cole, Edmundo Ross, Percy Faith, Mitch Miller, Johnny Horton, Don Cherry,
Gordon Jenkins, The Pasadena Roof Orchestra, The Chi-Lites, The Shacklefords (featuring Lee
Hazlewood), and three tracks by Ray Conniff, his orchestra and singers. Listen up and enjoy!
My show on June 29 is quite an international one, leading you to various places. My tourist guides
include Billy Vaughn, Sarah Vaughan, The Clark Sisters, Bobby Darin, Johnnie Ray, Julie London,
Mikis Theodorakis, Mel Tormé, Nat King Cole, Luis Cobos, Percy Faith, Henry Mancini, Andy Williams,
Louis Prima, The Puppini Sisters with The Pasadena Roof Orchestra, Xavier Cugat, Laurie Johnson,
Warren Barker – and of course Ray Conniff, his Orchestra and Singers. Listen up and enjoy!
I produced my show for July 6 before I learned the sad news that Ken Conlin, the founder of
Humboldt 101, passed away on June 30, 2025. He was a great friend and a true advocate for the
kind of music we all love. He will be sadly missed. I don’t know if this also means the end of
Humboldt 101 (and thus the end of my show). We will have to wait and see. Anyway, my show on
July 6 includes the following artists: Ferrante & Teicher, Henry Mancini, The Firebirds, Nat King Cole,
Laurindo Almeida, Edmundo Ros, Terry Snyder, Curt Haagers, Sandie Shaw, Paul Mauriat, Nancy
Sinatra, Andy Williams, Barbra Streisand & Bob Dylan, Tony Hatch, Dixie Chicks, John Barry, James
Last, Ray Conniff (orchestra and chorus, singers, and vocal). Listen up and enjoy!
For various reasons my show on July 13 is a re-run of No. 194, originally broadcast on January
26, which was well-received by quite a few listeners. It was advertised as follows: “Some sets of
my show focus on Edith Piaf, Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland, but the show has much more to
offer – recordings by Cass Elliot, Ray Anthony, Bert Kaempfert, ABBA, Billy Vaughn, Luis Cobos,
Ella Fitzgerald, Jack Jezzro, The Henry Mancini Concert Band, Herb Alpert, Johnny Star, The
Mexicali Singers (Anita Kerr), Dean Martin, and – of course! – Ray Conniff." Tune in, listen up and
enjoy my 218th broadcast!
Here is what I would have had in store for you on July 20, but the show did not air: Music from the big
screen, from the musical “Man of La Mancha”, songs about “wheels”, historic mono recordings
converted to stereo, some Latin music and much more. Artists include Andy Williams, Xavier Cugat,
Bert Kaempfert, Charles Aznavour, Shirley Bassey, Ronnie Aldrich, Linda Eder, Jack Jones, Artie Shaw,
Don Cherry (with Ray Conniff), Pink Martini & Michael Feinstein, Percy Faith, Brenda Lee, Johnny
Duncan, Margaret Whiting, John Barry, Henry Mancini, The Ray Conniff Singers, and Ray Conniff, his
orchestra and chorus. Tune in, listen up and enjoy!
My show on May 18 focuses on spring-related songs as well as on songs with weekdays in their
titles. Fans of Ray Conniff will love this show, as it features three tracks with his orchestra and
singers plus one backing for Eileen Rodgers. Other artists include Andy Williams, Floyd Cramer, Lynn
Anderson, Richard Carpenter, Nancy Sinatra, Liza Minnelli, Percy Faith, Manuel and the Music of the
Mountains, the New Christy Minstrels, Jim Groce, Herb Alpert, Billy Mure, Jimmy Dorsey, Julie
Andrews and Dean Martin. Tune in, listen up and enjoy show No. 210!
