A little Cole Porter, a little Coke, a little Chronic, a little Cream. Some covers, some country, some comedy. That’s all the alliteration we have, sorry about that. But we also have violin and folk, some boys and some girls, more music from the Dawn of Sound, and some other music not even one year old yet. And, you know, more. We have our moments.

Download while the price is low! Who knows what might happen in February?

And the reason is because we play all the hits! All right, perhaps not, but it’s fun and it’s worth your time. Motown, French pop, calypso, covers, country, stereo lounge, movie music, pop commercials, Beauty and the Beard, an old rocker or two, a Fabs outtake (it’s fun to say that), and a genuine TV theme. Maybe a little more. Please to check it out.

Look at all this! A French chanson together with its chansonnier, Mandy Patinkin singing a famous show tune, hip-hop old and new, soul, covers, commercials, guitars, Zappa, an unexpected track from The Dead, one or two humorists, Simon Templar, and your Uncle Bob. That’s his name. And more still.

Could it be we just don’t try? Or is it the clothes we wear? We don’t know but we hope we can get listenership up with this week’s program in which we present THREE different versions of Georgy Girl, all of them by The Seekers. That might not be enough so we have even more Australians plus some Motown with and without vocals, words from sponsors, Blossom and Nina and Ella, covers and parodies and comedy songs and more and you ain’t heard nothing yet.

Download and listen (please) because it’s too cold to do anything else anyway.

We ease gently into the New Year with some great instrumental and other covers, vintage hip-hop, a beautiful but terribly sad song by Patty Griffin, one-hit wonders from the 70s, 80s, and 30s, music box holiday music, a few pop-tune words from our sponsor, a little folk and country and soul, an unusual vocal version of a well-known TV theme, and a little more still.

We’re sorry, but that’s all we’ve got right now. That should hold you for a while. Please download and listen and tell a friend.
