This week, two jazzy, swinging musical tales of the times offered by jazz singer/radio storyteller and all-around cool cat, Geoffrey Leigh Tozer, with his "Sly Crooner of Swanktown." With a nod to the luck of the Irish, the first-half offers "Jack St. Patrick" a love story between Jack and the saucy red-headed Katie.  In the second half, Geoffrey puts his previous experience as an options trader in a Manhattan investment banking firm to work with  "The Great Depression", a tale of redemption and success in the face of dismal economic times.  So pour yourself some Bailey's, re-heat the corned beef and cabbage and dance a swinging jig with "The Sly Crooner of Swanktown." For more info on "The Sly Crooner of Swanktown," and Geoffrey Leigh Tozer visit. www.slycrooner.com.
