Random notes: DEEJAY ERROR (ooh fun!): The original song programmed instead of the Stones' "No Expectations" was their "19th Nervous Breakdown"; I put in the wrong CD...typical...Gee, the James Gang sounded funny on air to me...the guitars seemed muted...the funk was still intact, though...Spooner is a band from Erie, PA, which has some interesting music posted on their myspace page...nice original tunes, and they can keep a groove going without it becoming tired (IMHO); they are playing at the Brown Hotel in Indiana this spring on 3/23 and 4/27...."Miss Sarajevo" was chosen in dubious memory of Slobodan Milosevic, who died this past week while awaiting trial for war crimes....and from the semi-sublime to the ridiculous, the selection of "I Wanna Hot Dog for My Roll" was inspired by the local hot dog man controversy here in Indiana....The Marvin Gaye duets were the last to be placed in the lineup, with a CD purchased the afternoon of the show (I love big book 'n' music stores)...
