Episode #1052

New music aplenty, an hour of Girls Play Guys, where women sing songs by men, and a tribute to some of the incredible music that came out of our city and country during the 1990s, after yet another big sporting event 90s night that didn’t acknowledge or play a single local band or artist. Oy vey. Good thing we’re here!

Episode #1050

Every once in a while, it’s fun to go digging through the CD library, the archives, and my failing memory banks in search of musical treasure that I haven’t heard & played in a while. This episode is made up of 3 hours of great songs that don’t come up in the rotation all that often, so they definitely deserve a refresher and another listen.

This is one of our standby series of pre-recorded episodes that are meant to be timeless, so we can pop them into the schedule again some time when I can’t be at the studio live, so enjoy this one now and again!
