Ahmet's House

A Fools Parade in Ahmet's House tonight! Hello everyone, and sorry for the delay in posting from last weeks show. Tony here recovering from a bout of illness...but we are back and excited to get a new show up this Sunday, July 24th! SO...last week we found a lot of songs about foolishness...for very little reason at all...and here we go!

Independence... On this Fourth of July weekend in the US, I'm thinking about freedom and independence. In art, in music, freedom is essential. Perhaps what Ahmet and Atlantic did best, and more, was to create the atmosphere where artistic freedom could live and breath. For that, we are thankful on this day...in Ahmet's House.

Cause I Still Feel Like I Owe It...To Someone Tonight in Ahmet's House we'll talk about Mr. Clapton, play some jazz and remind ourselves why we even bother: Cause like Crosby sings,"I feel like I owe it, to someone."

Long form, short form...all here tonight in Ahmet's House! A hopefully melodious blend in the house tonight, as we showcase just a very little bit of the great Atlantic Records legacy. We honor the past, as we look hopefully into the future. Congratulations to the graduating Class of 2016 around the world...you are our future, and this is the music we share. Peace and love to all...

Mood for an Evening: Ahmet's House for May 15, 2016 The mood for this day is thoughtful, as the cold, dank northeast Springtime is still with us. But never worry, nature knows the way...it always does. So let's dream, and get lost in the clouds. Ahmet's House on this perfectly imperfect May evening...with you along to make it all so better. Enjoy!

Rain, Flowers and Mother's Day 2016 Good evening everyone and welcome once again to Ahmet's House. It's Mothers Day in the US, and so we thought of what to do on this rainy early spring day? Might we take in the Cinema, or perhaps take in some Pictures at an Exhibition or a museum...Flowers of course, we must have flowers.

Jazz, Rain and Ahmet's House in Early May Our hearts are alight in Spring...and it's May in Ahmet's House! Let's look out the window and dream together...in rain or shine!

Imagine...it's 1947 and the Muslims Are Out...So What? Lots of talk...some not so well thought out...but what if...it's 1947 and the Muslims are out! What's the harm? There will be no Ray or Aretha as we know them...Zeppelin and CSNY are too egocentric and talented to be signed by anyone, Clapton has gone back to his Uncles farm and progressive rock is just too complicated for anyone to understand...
