From Mike Schwimmer, one of JAZZ LIVES’ readers:
You asked if any of your readers have a radio show. I do. It’s called The Yesterday Shop and it’s a 3-hour program airing the 2nd and 4th Sundays each month on WOMR-FM, Provincetown, Massachusetts. Better yet, it’s streamed on the Web and you can listen on your computer at WOMR.org. I was on yesterday and will be back on April 10th.
I play trad, early jazz-oriented big bands (pre-WW II) and dixieland. Yesterday, I devoted the program to current or recent jazz groups playing OKOM (our kind of music). I am a percussionist, specializing in washboard. I have a long history as a Midwest musician out of Chicago and founded and led the Red Rose Ragtime Band for many years until moving away from that city.
I would very much like to feature more current bands, groups and musicians and would be grateful for any material you could send my way.

Hi Mike,
I have an extensive 5 album release (122 tracks) Jazz Magic. This was reviewed by Michael Steinman, last year in “Cadence”mag.
If I send you a set, with all the 18 page accompanying bumpf, is there any reference you could make as to where they can buy them. (my website is http://www.spencersnighthawks.com)
Best regards,
