Music for Dancing Puppies

I selected the theme because my young dachshund puppy was dancing along to a few of tonight's selections. She's so hip.

Composer's name is listed where notable (i.e. Classical Performance, Jazz Performance).

For more information on any of the rock, pop and Jazz music featured on this program, I frequently utilize AllMusic , an excellent free database holding a huge plethora of information about music and the artists that make it.
