The first hour is all artists from Tacoma, the often maligned city that was actually a hotbed of great PNW talent.  And in the second and third hours, I played a bunch of new artists (new to the show at least) with a PNW connection.  

Another day in paradise, another show featuring music with a PNW connection.   You'll hear a terrifying (to me) mid show technical goof (by me) at the end of the second hour, but if you ignore that brief moment of freak out, you'll enjoy the rest of the show.   Community radio, overconfident people, and passion over process are a dangerous brew. 

Enjoy.  

Jeopardy host (and Seattle resident) Ken Jennings details the game show history including his journey to become the GOAT Jeapordy player.  He's funny and touching and surprisingly self-deprecating.

A generic show, with lots of grunge acts in the third hour.
And a few birthday shout outs to Willie Nelson (91), Will Worden (26), and my dad (88), with the song So Long, Astoria.  He was born (and left Astoria, NY) but the song is about the Oregon Astoria (both of which were named after John Jacob Astor).  Enjoy. 

Straight up show with a mix of music with a connection to the PNW. 

I kicked off the second hour with a Stones song--the PNW connection is that they rocked Lumen Field in Seattle this week.  Not too shabby for a bunch of 80 year olds.  The tour was sponsored by AARP.  No kidding.   

The first two hours of the show was a tribute for Mother's Day, with all songs by PNW artists about their moms.  Happy Mother's Day, mom!

The last hour was the typical third hour--loud and grunge-y.

Enjoy.
