D.J. McSchmormac accepted an invitation from D.J. Coré Vida to substitute on her Sunday evening show, because she was going to be out of town, and when asked for any musical suggestions she expressed a great fondness for Turkish music, so D.J. McSchmormac made it an all-Turkish selection with recordings dating 1904-1949.
