I searched for, but could not find, any previous discussions of Danny Stiles, so I thought I'd post this.
Stiles plays big band and standards. You can find him at http://dannystiles.com/ and click on the live stream button. These programs are constructed as informercials of a kind. He touts Seppi's restaurant and John's Pizza and then spins a 78 of Frank Sinatra singing with Tommy Dorsey's orchestra.
Every now and then, he'll slip into, God hep us, the 1960s, but it's only every now and then.
Those of us who live in New York City are lucky because we can, every Saturday night from 8 - 10 pm, listen to him on WNYC 820AM (they have a streaming feed here). His Saturday night programs are better than the others he hosts on his site, mainly because they are live.
His knowledge of old music is encyclopedic. Stiles is in his 80s and has been on the air 61 years, so there is little he doesn't know. He also boasts of owning the largest 78 collection.
If you love old music, I recommend giving a listen.
