I’m going to nickname this episode Frank’s earworms because these were the songs that stuck in my head sometimes for weeks after recording a show. They may not be the most popular of the songs I’ve played or even among my favorites all the time, but they had a catchy melody or rhythm that I couldn’t get out of my head. So get ready for an episode with a lot more music and a lot less of me talking with Volume 100: Frank’s Favorites.

It’s a 78 RPM Sunday, the last one for the year. This is one of the longer symphony performances in my dad’s collection. It was written by someone who remains one of the most admired composers in the history of Western music conducted by a long-tenured Russian turned American director. So get ready for Sergei conducting Ludwig in Beantown with Volume 96: Beethoven From Boston.

While we have heard recordings where this trumpet player was part of the group, we have never played music where he is the featured instrumentalist. Plus we really take the tempo of the music you are used to listening to on this show down a notch or three. So get ready for the relaxed, easy-going sound of a horn player you may never have heard of in Volume 95: Bobby Gets Mellow.
