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!

Arbors, Alan Jackson, Dean Martin, Bert Kaempfert, James Last and Berdien Stenberg, Pink Martini
