Weep at sad songs, chuckle at funny songs, gasp at profane songs, sing along with legitimate Broadway show tunes, purchase along with commercial songs. Hear songs in more than one language, pop and rap and folk and jazz and Tico-Tico and more. Leave November behind. The future is almost here.

If we’re still here next week, and you’re here too, you’ll get to hear Episode #100. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Please download and enjoy this one in the meantime.

We have an unusual glut of monster hits this week but don’t let that put you off. You’ll still hear obscurities, TV music, indie, karaoke Motown, the Thompson Family, country music, guitars, accordions, tubas, a word from our sponsor, and more.

We’re not sure anyone reads these but we know someone writes them. And we know some of you are listening. More, please!

More audio tricks this week: beeps and boops plus those isolated audio tracks that we love. Music from movies and from TV, instrumental guitar, famous jazz pianists, Python, music in tribute to this person and that person, a little Christmas music, at least one massive hit, and a word from our aggressive sponsor. And hardly any cat stories.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Maybe.

This week we have the monster hits you crave plus the lesser hits you didn’t know you were missing. We break Taylor Swift’s new single (thanks, Tay!), we play covers of two different songs by The Band, and we have some guitar instrumentals. There’s a Lennon-McCartney song (find it!), electronica, standards, movie music, a little TV music, a cat story or two, a Nashville story or two, and a word from our sponsor. Plus more. (We always say that.)

Technology made it all possible. We made it, you can listen to it. But will you? That’s what we’re wondering.

We welcome a new sponsor to the program and then entertain you mightily with country, folk, pop, rap, jazz, electronic, and a lot more. Covers! Originals! Hits! Memories! Parodies! Soul! Hippie music! Demos! Words fail us. Finally, they fail us.

Perhaps we boast. Perhaps you’ll download this and decide for yourselves. That’s what we’re hoping.
