This week we have vaudeville and rainbows, Motown and steel bands, Monkees and the Brooklyn Zoo. We have Gilbert and Sullivan (it’s in there), a sad Irish folk song, and some of that soul music. We have The Blues (several of them), a little folk, a little disco, and some space music. There’s an answer song from Carole King, a big big love, and instrumentals that you can’t help but love so don’t even try not liking them because you would fail.

And there’s a little more, but you’re not reading this, are you? You should be listening instead.

This week we have some calypso and we have some Delta blues, we have Phyllis Diller, we have teenagers. We cover Porter and cover over Lightfoot, we push tobacco over cocaine. You'll hear beat poetry and chipmunks (we got 'em all cha-cha'ing and wrecking the song), fabulous instrumentals, Genghis Khan and his brother Don. We present the funk and we present music from movies and TV. We have subway music, we consider dimples, we approve both coffee and tea, and we play a little French Petula.

It's the same old stuff we always have. You know you love it. Please check it out.
