Back-toback shows with Don Shor about JAZZ!  Not the apple -- that would be on the "Davis Garden Show" (where Don and Lois are co-hosts) -- but the music.  Don hosts a weekly KDRT radio show on Tuesday evenings called "Jazz After Dark" and agreed to come today to share with us some of the history of jazz -- up to about WWII  So sit back and listen to the man and the music.

PS: This was so wonderful, Lois asked him to come back next week and do another show focusing on women jazz artists.

Ruth starts the show with Fleetwood Mac's " Skies the Limit" to go with this week's Mark Twain reading: "Tom Quartz, the Gold Rush Cat." And if you can't find that Cat title, go to Chapter LXI of "Roughing It." Tom Quartz is the Cat blown up into the sky by mistake. The sky was the limit for Tom 'cause Tom came down after two and a half minutes.
