Misc Mix

Sept 14 2023

Episode 26 is an on-the-fly mix featuring mostly vintage salsa. There is no specific theme. No guest, either. I had no time to prep, so I just played track to track... Good fun! The audio setup is in my new home, and you can hear the evening crickets chirping in the background when I speak.

For a cancer Warrior

Sept 28 2023

This show is dedicated to a friend who recently started chemotherapy. When I suggested making a mix to lift their spirits during this challenging time, they replied "let the music make me dream". So I will focus on brass-infused salsa brava, which this person likes.

 

My own cancer journey was a success, and I am grateful. I wish the same for my friend. Join us as they tune in from Europe and, if you can, show your support in the chat. Sharing your own cancer story is welcome, too.
