Show #437--5/11/14


Tonight in Hour 1 I'm teasing the return of my summer show Monday Music Club with an hour from one of last summer's shows. If you like a "deep track" type of oldies show with stuff you don't get to hear over the airwaves that frequently, you'll want to listen in Monday nights from 6-10pm starting tomorrow (at wiupfm.org). 

Hey, this was a pretty good hour, I think:

For Your Love—The Yardbirds
Promise Her Anything—Tom Jones

Voodoo Woman—Bobby Goldsboro

Bang! Bang!—Joe Cuba Sextet
Nothing But a Heartache—The Flirtations
Beverly Hills—Uncle Sound
It’s a Shame—The Spinners

HOUR 2: FEATURE ALBUM -- GENESIS: ABACAB (1981)

I even have nerdy commentary, if you're into that. And it's not too long, if you're not. The whole album played in this hour, testing the attention spans of all listeners.
