Good morning, musicologists! We are on the brink of the weekend here and we’ve made it to the end of another work week. We’ve got a brand new EP for you first thing today, and it’s all about friendship…both good and bad.

Here’s your end-of-the-work-week lineup:
9:00 a.m. Friends of Mine: Various Artists NEW!
Friends. What would we do without them? And sometimes, what do we do with them? You’ll hear all about it from The Guess Who, Willie Nelson, The Beach Boys, War, Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Todd Rundgren, Linda Ronstadt, Queen, R.E.M., Simon & Garfunkel, John Prine, The Kinks, Joan Baez, The Beatles, Carly Simon, Tracy Nelson, The Byrds, Desmond Dekker, Jackson Browne, Steppenwolf, Elton John, Carole King, Grateful Dead, Lou Reed, Robert Johnson, Hank Williams, Maria Muldaur, Otis Redding, Argent, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and more!
4:00 p.m. Singer-Songwriter Series: The Music of Paul McCartney FINAL AIRING!
Sir Paul takes his final spin as our featured singer-songwriter but, weep not, he’ll be back because we have yet to delve into Lennon-McCartney. Tomorrow we’ll have a brand new artist here.
8:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Jeff Lynne’s ELO (Electric Light Orchestra)
Tonight we close the programming with great music from Electric Light Orchestra with the brilliant Jeff Lynne at the helm.
Hey, it’s Friday. Just grit it out. And if you need help and you have a computer, pull up a tab. We’ll help you get over the Friday blues with our great selection of music, all free of charge with no commercial interruption. And best of all, we’re on 24/7 unless there’s a natural disaster where our servers are based.
