Returned to a regular radio show today, not on the radio exactly, but on the internet. Cygnus Radio.com has me on Monday afternoons and I began shakily as usual, with loud music and whisper soft patter. Tried to adjust the levels as I went along, through a long set marking the 58th anniversary of the JFK assassination, the 45th anniversary of The Band’s “The Last Waltz” concert, and marking five years since the death of rocker Tommy Keene.
Then came the Thanksgiving songs, some “Let It Be” outtakes that may or may not be in the big “The Beatles: Get Back” documentary series this weekend (the Tennessee Ernie Ford cut, probably not). There were also highlights from those honored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and a one song sendoff from Janet Jackson.
Here’s what I played on the internet today (and soon enough they’ll be able to be archived and briefly heard): “Capital Radio One,” The Clash
