I am Omega… a traveler of frequencies.
Tonight we open another doorway through sound —
a place where forgotten bands live again,
and where the songs of the past still breathe.
We begin with Canned Heat, then drift into early psychedelic sounds from Steve Miller, followed by Mike Pinera and Iron Butterfly. From there we move into a long set from Jim Morrison and The Doors, before traveling onward to The Electric Prunes.
Along the way, John Lennon reminds us exactly who he is, and David Crosby’s immortal “Wooden Ships” carries us across the waters of another time. Keeping that same spirit alive, we hear Matthews Southern Comfort interpreting Neil Young, followed by “When You Dance, I Can Really Love” from the man himself.
The night continues with some great cuts from Hookfoot, setting the stage for the unmistakable guitar of Ritchie Blackmore. We move into Rush, followed by a powerful long-form piece from Deep Purple, and the modern-day spirit of Tom Sawyer.
As our journey begins to wind down, we close the evening with Billy Idol, The Doobie Brothers, and The Church with “Under the Milky Way.”
Great songs, great writers, and timeless sounds from the past.
Our journey through the soundwaves comes to a close for tonight.
The vinyl may stop spinning, but the music never really ends.
Somewhere out there, another song is waiting to be discovered.
Until we meet again on the long cosmic road…
keep your mind open, your heart free, and let the frequencies guide you.
Headphones are recommended — or download the show to your car audio system. Remastered classic rock was meant to be heard this way, especially since most of us no longer have the stereo systems we grew up with in the 1970s. Remember those Magneplanars or the old ESS towers?
This is an FM broadcast on North Carolina Public Radio — no ads, no promotion, no money involved — just the love of music.
Classic Rock and Progressive Rock. If you enjoy long-form tracks and deep musical journeys, this is your station. Sometimes mellow, sometimes hard — always three hours of nonstop, commercial-free music flowing together the way great radio once did… with just a little of the weirdness of the 1970s mixed in for fun.
If you’re a headphone listener, this is your place. Every track is decompressed and remastered before it reaches the airwaves.
It’s all about the music — nothing more.
