While sitting by the fire, one of the flaming wisps graced my fingertips. That short burst of pain from being burned lit the spark of this episode: Torch Songs. I've done my civic duty in past episodes around this time of year of jazz / food-related posts, but this one goes out to those who have been burned or have carried (or may still carry) a torch for someone. Those dear souls need a post for them as well. Here it is. Enjoy responsibly.

Dr. Jazz - Nawlins Pep Rally (Sept 2025) by Nathan Holaway (Dr. Jazz)

Hi everyone! It’s been a while…(I know). But I’ve been dealing with a lot of personal things and a great deal of very little down-time. That being said, I’m going to try and give this thing a “go” and keep it going. Rather than try to find a clever theme or anything, I’m returning to my mission statement of just giving you music that aims to “cure whatever it is that ails you” and hopefully that will be good enough. I sincerely appreciate those of you who are faithful listeners. Thank you!
