I'm still new here but you have my attention. I talk to you while I drive, I yelled what about "Jazz Samba"('62) and "Take Five"('59). I went back and listened through Fionas recordings to prep. I've been needing new music for a while too and this is a great place to go for that. Thanks.

My musical education and library has grown this past year because of this podcast and I am looking forward to the coming second season!
