Well, here’s a milestone for you. I can’t believe that I have reached 200 shows with no intent of stopping. 

While I’ve played over 12 hundred songs on this show over those more than three and a three quarter years, I have several that have stuck in my brain or keep coming up in conversation and memories.

They may not be the most popular of the songs I’ve played, the biggest hits or even necessarily among my favorites, but they had a catchy melody or rhythm that I couldn’t get out of my head.

So get ready to hear a dozen extra memorable tunes you’ve heard on this show before in Volume 200: Frank's Earworms Take 2.

Listen to the Ted Alexander unedited phone interview.
