| | | | | It's baseball's all-star week, and this week couldn't have come soon enough for Red Sox fans. Try and forget their first-to-worst season and have some fun listening to Nick Noble's annual baseball show. This Thursday from 7-11 PM Folk Revival with Nick will toss a few knucklers and curve balls, including the classic Who's on First by my old pals Abbott and Costello. Enjoy!

Horace Silver
 Silver was born in Norwalk, Connecticut on September 2, 1928. When Silver was a teenager, he began playing both piano and saxophone while he listened to everything from boogie-woogie and blues to such modern musicians as Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk. As Silver's piano trio was working in Hartford, Connecticut, the group received saxophonist Stan Getz's attention in 1950. The saxophonist brought the band on the road and recorded three of Silver's compositions. Read More... |
