Welcome to The Shuffle!
The Shuffle is a weekly 3 hour radio show and podcast. The show airs (usually) live on WFIT-FM in Melbourne, FL, Wednesday evenings from 7-10 PM. Podcasts of the shows are posted here on a quasi-frequent basis. An RSS feed is also available for you modernistic types.
The Shuffle features music from around the world and across the ages--Jazz to Punk, New Age to New Wave, Classical to Comedy, we plow through it all.
Music you know.
My current favorite:
An amazing guitar and mandolin version of Ben Fold's Landed by Derrek Dozier. Great transcription and a great self–produced video to go with it. Visit his YouTube channel here for this and other gems. I'll be following up to get more from him on the program.
For more, listen to the Covers shows below.
