Webster, Rod Stewart with Jool Hollands, Les Baxter, Percy Faith, Cilla Black, Shirley Bassey,

One set of my show on September 29 features songs from James Bond movies, and one pays tribute to
Marvin Hamlisch. Other than that, it’s the usual mixed bag which I think features something for
everybody. Artists include Ray Conniff (of course!), Dalida, Tony Bennett, Juan García Esquivel, Cilla
Black, Willie Nelson & Julio Iglesias, Paul Mauriat, Rondo Veneziano, Ronnie Aldrich, Andy Williams,
Percy Faith, Carly Simon, Louis Armstrong, Hans Zimmer, and Mitch Miller and the Gang. Tune in, relax,
listen up and enjoy!Actually, this is a re-run of show No. 119, originally broadcast on August 20, 2023.
Ray Conniff fans will enjoy my show on September 22, as it features one of his signature tunes, a
classical theme, his Singers, backings for Don Cherry and Eileen Rodgers as well as one of his
arrangements for Harry James. Other artists include James Last, Richard Clayderman, Bette Midler,
Manuel and the Music of the Mountains, Bert Kaempfert, Luba Mason, Henry Mancini, Frank Sinatra
and Antonio Carlos Jobim, Les Baxter, Kevin Spacey, Billy Vaughn, and Jimmy Durante with a song that
ends with “Good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are”. I’ll also explain how this phrase came about.
Tune in, relax, listen up and enjoy!
My show on October 6 was originally broadcast on June 11, 2023 (# 109, that is). Due to a lumbago
which does not allow sitting in front of the computer for hours to produce a new show, I am forced to
re-run an old one. I hope you’ll enjoy it anyway. It features “Beautiful Music” as well as fun songs,
two different arrangements of the same song, one-hit-wonders, a walk down Memory Lane, a tribute
to the late Astrud Gilberto, music from movies and much more. Artists include Bert Kaempfert, Percy
Faith, Ray Conniff, Nat King Cole, Barbra Streisand & Michael Bublé, Guy Marks, The Pipkins,
Peggy Lee, Tom Jones, John Barry, Brenda Lee, Billy Walker, The Golden Leaves, Henson Cargill,
Manuel and the Music of the Mountains, The Central Band of the Royal Air Force, Achim Reichelt

The basic theme of my show on October 27 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 Ros, Alessandro

Due to my doctor’s order (“Don’t spend more than 20 minutes sitting in front of your computer!”) I see
myself in no position to produce a new show for Sunday, November 3. Anyway, I hope you’ll enjoy the re-
run of show No. 126, originally broadcast on October 8, 2023, instead. Besides the music of Ray Conniff
it features Martina McBride & Dean Martin, Barbra Streisand, Roy Orbison, Elvis Costello, Charles
Aznavour, Henry Mancini, Percy Faith, Marlene Dietrich, Ferrante & Teicher, Andy Williams, Shaggy
(featuring Rayvon), Doris Day, and Louis Armstrong und die kleine Gabriele. I promise to take my
