Remember when Oliver Twist asked for more food in the Dickens novel?
We'll, what he really asked was "more rhythm and blues please". That was dropped from the film. Betcha didn't know that. What's that got to do with tonight's Swingin' the Blues? Pretty much nothing.
We'll, tonight's show is called more rhythm and blues please. Stream it on Peaks Island radio.

NEXT TO SILENCE - WEEK OF AUGUST 25, 2025 - SONGS FROM QUENTIN TARANTINO FILMS

Dear Friends,
This week’s show dives deep into the world of Quentin Tarantino. His films are stitched together not just with blood and dialogue, but with music — songs that become characters, moods that drive the story forward, and obscure tracks that suddenly feel like old friends. From surf guitar to soul, from radio ads to Morricone’s sweeping Western scores, Tarantino builds soundtracks that are unforgettable. This playlist pulls straight from those soundtracks — a ride through the jukebox of his movies. So sit back, turn it up, and let’s drop the needle on Tarantino.
