Stranger Songs
Tuesday February 22nd, 2022 with Mike Regenstreif
A Tribute to Fats Waller

The theme for this edition of Stranger Songs is "A Tribute to Fats Waller." Thomas Wright Waller, better known as Fats Waller, died in 1943 at age 39 after an all-too-brief career as an influential pianist, singer, and composer and as one of the most popular performers of his era. Some of the songs and instrumentals on this show were written by Waller, some were not, but all of them were performed and recorded by him at some point or another.
