Dig on platters a-plenty, from The Chantels to Del Shannon, The Small Faces to Jimmy Reed. And so much more. Maybe some Basie and Kenton? Relax. You’ve earned it!

Sonny Fox was a guest on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast a few years ago, and he was still quite the raconteur! And he had a great memory for a nonagenarian (heck, for any age, to be honest)!
