305: Jazz & Co.

hi.
Today I hope to make my point in (a lousy)
3 hours & 12 minutes...if you can spare the time [:-)
Be sure to get the whole thing,
'cause you know:
if it ain't got that swing...
it don't mean a thing [:-)
Be safe, be well, & be all the good you can be...
Hope this mix can jazz you folks up a bit,
and please don't forget my little blog-o-spherical motto:
songs really CAN do the matter!
Enjoy.
