Hello fans! My name is Kurtis and I run Covering the Mouse , a daily blog that features cover versions of famous Disney tunes! Ray is out of town this week so he asked me if I would post some songs this week! Ever since its appearance in Pinocchio in 1940, When You Wish Upon a Star has become the signature song for Walt Disney and his legacy. Walt came from a poor family in Kansas. His rise to fame was not an easy one and it took many years for someone to [...]

I promise not to overload you with Christmas tunes this year, but ever since we put up the tree, I'm a little bit more in the mood. I'd like to share a few variations on a classic tune that I dearly love. "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" is one of my all-time favorites, and here are four different renditions. The first dates from my childhood and is definitely responsible for forging my intense love of jazzy Christmas music. It's actually more swing than jazz, with [...]
... I've always liked the parts where the music stops and drifts along - you get some ridiculous string orchestra, then it just slips a bit, the pitch goes or they slow it down or something. Then the drums come back - it's completely meaningless! I like that... What is a pain and can sometimes dilute it is the repetitive - looped or sampled - vocals... The funny thing is, I've never heard a jungle record, all I've heard has been off the radio - the only piece of recorded jungle I've heard is by Ninj! It obviously [...]
I cannot comprehend how one appendage can be so nimble, while others begin to fail. Dave Brubeck steadied himself on the shoulders of his quartet walking to his piano on stage, but then sat down and played with hands as precise and quick as when his records were first cut. These are men in their 80's, and as they took to their instruments there was no contesting their "cool." They've been making music twice as long as we have been listening. It should come as no surprise they do so, so perfectly. [...]
This week, the contrast podcast's theme is "1967" (listen/download here ). I think I failed to mention it in last week's post. Sorry about that. So before I forget, next week's theme is "Young," in solidarity with Tim, the podcast creator extraordinaire. My pick this time was a bit of a stretch, I admit it. Here's the logic I used to choose it. I didn't want to do something strictly by the rules (god forbid) and pick a tune from 1967. [...]
