...After the election, Mondale moved to Chicago and found work as a radio DJ. She also got married, to sports star Keith Van Horne of the Chicago Bears. The marriage lasted 16 months. Not too successful in her first stab at radio, Mondale started doing the traffic helicopter spots for local television.

This is smooth jazz with a dab of soul: most of the songs are instrumentals featuring JK's pleasant if unadventurous guitar stylings.
