Party of One: Rock the Jazz Age

A Party Of OneParty of One: Rock the Jazz Age

Taking advantage of the extra Saturday in December to do something completely different.  The late 1940s-mid 1950s was a very exciting time in music.  We all know Blues and Country gave birth to Rock & Roll, but they were listening to Jazz while they conceived it.  Tune in to hear the sounds of their boogie.  

 We start off in the realm of what can be. Our hopes ahead, looming and so thick we cannot separate them in our bloodthirsty dreams and while we make those plans, while we save, while we entertain the somedays in our placated minds, we whiz past the mountains. The excitement of the paradise of possibility empties into the sea of Nod, and soon we're  a madman on a sinking sloop making jetsam of the trinkets of his once desires while he stares down barrel the big iron gun, listing, feet wet, screaming "I will fire you, goddammit!"
