Johnny Cash died today, so I'm throwing lots of his stuff into the jazz mix. In other, random, news, the Beatles are suing Apple Computer again (Apple allegedly violating their previous settlement by getting into the music business) so I tossed a White Album track in as well.
Later in the show I remembered that Stan Ridgeway, one of my '80s/'90s faves, was a big Johnny Cash fan ... so I grabbed some old Stan and Wall of Voodoo records too. Big fun.
