Every year about this time there’s a quick burst of blossom, a promise of renewal and that first pitch of the national pastime. I don’t know about you but it’s my favorite time of year, a time when winter’s cold is shut down and we’ve got that Spring Fever. This week’s show will take time out for a couple sets celebrating and remembering baseball’s past through music with the likes of The Treniers, Danny Kaye, and Dr. John with some early rapping from Mel Allen of all people. And that’s just the half of it because the fever goes beyond the diamond: we’ll share songs of April love with Shirley Jones, Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White with Perez Prado, Nina Simone, Martha Tilton, and a run of classic country with Johnny Horton, Sons of the Pioneers and the Sons of the San Joaquin. From stickball to kite-flying to the first frisbees of the year in the local park. Let’s get away from it all.
