In hour 1, we sample an ultra-rare Frank Zappa cover of "Stranded in the Jungle," originally recorded by the Jayhawks, plus Herbie Hancock's take on a Joni Mitchell classic and a track from Miles Davis' version of Porgy & Bess. In hour 2, we'll check the local surf conditions on our inland lakes & ponds, enjoy a guest appearance by the late great WERU dj Charlie Oldham, & fill the hour with classic funk, soul, & jazz.
