Just bought a CD: "The Weather Channel Presents: The Best of Smooth Jazz"

[Jimbo S]

So next week I'll be jamming to the "weather on the 8's".

Yeah, I'm a total geek. Who cares?

:headbang:

1. That music always souinds vaguely familiar

I can ALMOST recognize some of the songs or they sound very much like pop hits.

[Swede]

2. What does this phrase "just bought a cd" mean?

It sounds so quaint.

3. I had no idea Muzak came in CD form.

4. Some you are missing :

"Riders on Ancient Winds" - Russ Freeman and Craig Chaquico
Anything by The Rippingtons (Russ Freeman is a member)

My husband looooooooves the Rippingtons. Russ Freeman is one of the best jazz guitarists of all time.

I have heard the above featured on weather on the 8s several times.
Might also want to check out some of Craig's other stuff. If I remember correctly, he was a guitarist with one of the incarnations of Jefferson Airplane/Starship, but I don't know which one.

7. Hey, man, I hear d a funny and relevant quote from a radio DJ about a month ago:

"If I were to buy the Weather Channel, the first thing I'd do is get rid of that terrible smooth 'jazz' 'music' they play on the Local on the 8s."

Truth. :thumbsup:
