It’s an unspecial 26th anniversary for Wal this month at KSPC. He’ll play #bebop #jazz every Sat., like he always does. He won’t play ballads, vocals or big bands. 26 years isn’t a milestone, so it’ll be more fun in 4 years. See you then.

Today’s edition of @BopDropandRoll won’t be a live broadcast, but I’ll try to run the chat on KSPC.org remotely (for the first time ever). If I’m successful, I’ll see you there! If not, I hope to see you on chat next time! Enjoy the tunes & your weekend!

Reminder! I won’t be live on @kspc this Saturday for @BopDropandRoll due to scheduled station maintenance. I’ve prerecorded a show to air this Saturday. I’ll miss the phone calls and chat room chatter, but look forward to returning live in the studio on Saturday, August 6th!

It is NOT a chill show. It is NOT a cool show. It is NOT a smooth show. It is NOT a calm show. It is NOT a slow show. It is NOT a relaxed show. Say NO to the slow & INDEED to the speed! Sat., 3-5PM & Sun., 1-3AM with Wal! #bop #bopjazz #bebop #kspc #jazz
