Episode #1114

New music, classics, we say goodbye to blues & roots great Tim Williams, and a deep dive into the playlists of Planet Mainstage, a mainstay on UMFM for over 20 years. We paid tribute to our friend John Prentice yesterday and it was a reminder of the reach and influence of John’s show. I went through his playlists to find out which artists were played the most over the past 20 years and played a bunch of the most played artists and their most played songs.
