Music

Mindy Todd, host of The Point on Cape Cod and Islands NPR has a regular show on books where I’m sometimes a guest. Tomorrow at 9 AM ET she and I and former librarian and friend Jill Erickson will be discussing books on and about music and musicians. An enormous topic!

Food of Love

I heard from a reader asking for a list of all the songs mentioned in the Chet and Bernie novels. Seems like a good idea but … yikes! So how about a little crowdsourcing today? If you remember one or two, please jot them in a comment here. That will help me make a start. Thanks!

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?”
