Easter, Spring and April Foolery

More performances from across the years. We'll be meeting two witnesses to musical history: In part one, Composer Bill Finegan; And in part two, Clarinet player Peanuts Hucko.

More swinging performances from across the years and around the world spotlighting the finest crooners, songbirds, small groups, big bands, orchestras and instrumentalists. Also, we'll be meeting two more witnesses to musical history from Graham's archive of interviews: In part one, Composer, Arranger and Bandleader Bill Finegan who was born on April the 3rd, 1917; And in part two, virtuoso Clarinet player and Bandleader Peanuts Hucko who was born on April the 7th, 1918. And Graham's musical theme this week is a celebration in words and music of… "Easter, Spring and April Foolery!"
