Welcome to Coverspalooza ’24, a spontaneous outbreak of cover songs that popped up during a blizzard of texting during the show. Who doesn’t love a good rendition of a great song?
Bob wished Magic Sam a happy birthday before launching into a nearly two-hour lovefest in honor of Valentine’s Day, including an Almost Poetry Corner dedicated to “This Tornado Loves You.”
Bob and Bill were still basking in the glow of the anniversary shows and a visit from The Montvales during this week’s effort that featured more talking than music. But they did pay tribute to the 60th anniversary of The Beatles arrival in America with “All My Loving.”
We finished our 10th Anniversary show, then welcomed The Montvales, Sally Buice and Molly Rochelson, to the studio. It was a delightful start to the second decade of the show.
The 10th Anniversary Extraavaganza was too big to fit into one show, so this episode is just Part 1. The response from Friends of the Show was overwhelming and heartwarming. Plus, there are two new promos from John London.
Bob and Bill pimped next week’s 10th Anniversary Show that will feature contributions from the family that has grown around “The Best Music on the Radio” (Kathy Schwartz, “CityBeat,” 2015).
Bill played his Top 20 albums of the year, which featured some familiar names (Jason Isbell, Rolling Stones, Margo Price) and some newcomers (Stephen Wilson Jr., Abby Hamilton, Gabe Lee).
Bob wished everybody a happy holiday with an eclectic selection of Christmas songs, while Bill teased next week’s show that will feature his favorite albums of 2023.
Bob and guest host webmaster extraordinaire John Tarvardian, a wizard, a true star, mixed it up. Bob honored Hugo Perotti, Dave Brubeck and Robb “the Guitar Man” Royer on their birthdays, while John played some sets of songs to surprise us. Our loyal listeners know, though, that his tastes are so eclectic, nothing could surprise us!
