Playlist Help

“You’re thinking of compiling a Chet and Bernie playlist?” Admin says.

“Right,” says Spence. “I’m looking for all the songs that have been mentioned in the series so far. I was hoping some people here at the blog might remember some, and note them down below.”

“Saving you from some work?”

“And maybe having a little fun.”

“Fun? Fun? What’s happening to this country?”

Welcome American patriot, Tucker & Team Fiddlin’, Bella, Casey & Tropicana, Demo de Dogue.

Bayou Country

“I understand that a lot of The Sound and the Furry – the new Chet and Bernie novel, coming in Sept. – takes place down in bayou country,” Admin says.

“True,” says Spence.

“Does food play a role?”

“Yes.”

“How about music?”

“That, too.”

“Don’t tell me Chet and Bernie go to Jazz Fest.”

“I won’t.”

Welcome Darah, Lucy Lou, Pookey, Emma P.

RIP: Frances Preston

“Maybe not a well-known person outside the music industry,” Spence says. “She rose from receptionist at a radio station to CEO of BMI and probably did more than anyone to make sure songwriters got paid whenever their music aired.”

“Here’s something she said,” says Admin. “‘Music is not just out there in the air for you to pick out for free, because if the creator isn’t compensated, there’s not going to be that music.'”

“Amen,” says Spence.

“And it applies to other arts as well.”

“Goes without saying.”

“Too late. I already said it.”

Welcome Sam in the big city.
