384: It's A Thing, volume 2

Hi.
Today's THING got it all: flirtin' flutes, wahmazing wahwah,
heavenly Hammonds, vibrating vocals, coincidental covers
and what not...even an elevator muzak track with a twist
(nr.30) and the title track to some HBO serie (nr27).

Above all this new post has got a thing going on, you know?
I did my very best to bring you this 5 hour & 40 minutes thing
in a meaningful, entertaining and swinging way, I personally
handpicked the tunes one by one, trying to keep the alphabetical
order in tune with the thing that I had in mind.

I must admit, it is a truly decent follow-up on post 300!

Enjoy.
