Howdy, "RichMac"...

If Shigeki had composed "Coffee Talk" during the heyday of "easy listening" music, meaning the 50's through the 60's, it may very well have become a standard!

The accuracy with which he reproduced the sound and style of the genre makes it easy for me to imagine that he hitched a ride back to that era in a time machine, studied with the "greats", and then rode his time machine back to the present to share with us what he learned. smile

Based on my reading, the genre is making a comeback, everywhere. Here in Washington State, on Saturday nights beginning at 6:00 p.m., a radio show entitled, "The Retro Cocktail Hour" plays easy listening, Space Age Pop, and "exotica" music from "back in the day".

And, according to the information posted on station's website, the program is also available at Radio New Zealand on Sundays at 11:04 p.m.

I am pleased, that you were pleased by what you heard when you gave "Coffee Talk" a shot! Thank you for your enthusiatic response.

Sincerely,

LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage")
