6930.63
1623 sounds like a ten-tette
1625 vibes
1628 Silver?
1633 (over the music) "This is Ion Radio broadcasting on transmitter #1, at 6 watts") (good heavens!)  music continues
1635 tenor sax - Sonny?
1638 Silver again? or Milt Jackson? Yes, Milt
1641 Round Midnight with Monk playing - I wish someone would tune his piano
1645 Cherokee
wish I could hear more, but  I'm helping my wife with lunch - Thanks for the great music!

Can you tell that this is among my favorite music?
