Face the Music 1.31.13

This broadcast was conceived as a celebration of Jewish music.

Part of the methodology involved assembling recordings

that would have bothered Joe Goebbels: George Gershwin, 

Richard Rodgers, Irving Berlin, Benny Goodman,

Artie Shaw, even a team of harmonizing Chassids!

Also a nice opportunity to air lots of Ziggy Elman.
