Nothing wrong with a little theme fun…and what better way to have it than with a topic that can be heard from in virtually any genre: cats. cool cats, tom cats, go cats, hep-cats, black cats, pussy cats, kitty cats and kittens…all of them are subject to our musical scrutiny in this week’s Deeper Roots show. We’ll hear from the early banjo novelty genius Harry Reser, key meddling Fats Waller, lounge swingers like Bobby Darin, Cy Coleman, and The Blue Hawaiians. And you know there’s also a hint of of black cat and pussy cat jazz and blues from Bo Carter, Bob Brozman, Benny Goodman, and Eddie Lang.
