[Dixielandjazz] Vince Giordano & His Nighthawks on PHC

[David Richoux]

I caught just the last few minutes, but one local NPR/PRI station ( 
http://www.kqed.org/radio ) rebroadcasts the show on Sundays 11AM PDT 
and you can listen live on the internet (for free.)   I assume most 
other NPR stations have web feeds by now. Vince's band was definitely 
cooking on the outro song!

It is also possible to listen to archived  Prairie Homes shows at  
http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/ - it takes them a few days to put 
the show up on that website but they break it into segments (or you can 
just play the whole thing.)

Good Stuff!
