Money Songs
WKHR is organizing our next fund raiser. Scheduled for Oct 18-24.
I got the idea of creating a CD of swing music that relates to money.
I thought all of you pro DJs could come up with some ideas.
Here is a list from the top of my head:
'Plenty of Money and You' - Tony Bennet with Count Basie
'Why Don't you Do Right' - Peggy Lee with Benny Goodman
'Boogie for a Nickle' - Dick Kenney Orch
'Send Me Some Money' - Les Paul and Mary Ford
'Get Some Cash for your Trash' - Fats Waller
Others you can think of?
