Cocktail Nation 318 Johnny Carson

Sunday Jun 22, 2014
The king of television Johhny Carson reigned supreme for decades on the box and is part of the mid century story arc that we just love here on the cocktail nation.His story is so very big that it's difficult to do it justice so I thought let's take a look at the beginning of his career and what made the man. We have a look at a nice book on mid century culture to check out and how would you like to own a derelict nineteen twenties movie theatre in LA? Well there is one up for grabs!www.cocktailnation.netAlika Lyman Group Night OrchidCarol Fredette I am in LoveDoc Severinson Johnny’s ThemeDavid Carbonara A Beautiful MineProject Pimento You Only LiveTwiceMartini Kings Soft SoundsStan Getz O Grande AmorEsquivel That Old Black MagicBilly May Cocktails For TwoNew Morty Show -Blue MartiniMarc Copeland I Concentrate On YouJanet Seidel Linger awhileSally Street When In RomeBobby Darin The Shadow Of Your SmileTerry Snyder Theme From Picnic
