Eric, I have listened to your show since I was an 11 year old boy and found it on the radio dial on accident when I was living in Connecticut. Even though my mother listened to jazz a little, listening to your show was the first real exposure I had to the form. Its been a staple of my musical upbringing since then and even though life and the military have taken me all over, your show remains constant, one of those staples of my youth that keep me sane. Im listening to your show now, shining jump boots for a funeral tomorrow, and Ill definitely be up through the night. If you find a few minutes in your playlist this evening I would love to hear Cannonballs "Bohemia After Dark," It would definitely make my evening. Keep up the good listening! Z

Thanks Steve, for playing the real stuff, espcially tonight. That Kurt Elling was incredible. As soon as I turned on the radio this evening it was LHR, which totally brought a smile to my face. Best, Bill Wooding

Hello -- I was listening to Bob Parlocha's show Friday morning just before 5:00, and he played a couple of jazz pieces that I really liked, but wasn't able to write down. Is there any way to find out the name of the pieces and the artists? Thanks!
