Good morning, musicologists and welcome to the first day of yet another work week! We kick off the week with some great playlists in between all that great Open Stream!

Here’s your Monday, Monday lineup:

11:00 a.m. Wheels: Various Artists

Since being on the road is a popular song subject, it only follows that cars and modes of transport would be as well. You’ll hear from Chuck Berry, Paul McCartney, Bo Diddley, Joni Mitchell, War, T. Rex, The Who, The Eagles, Janis Joplin, John Prine, The Byrds, The Beach Boys, Mudcrutch, The Beatles, Steppenwolf, Wilson Pickett, The Kinks, Alice Cooper and more!

3:00 p.m.  The Beatles: Songs With Characters  UPDATED!

The man in the mack, the barber showing photographs, a lonely person named Eleanor Rigby, a murderous student named Maxwell Silver Hammer, the fool who hangs out on the hill, the banker who doesn’t wear a mack in the pouring rain are all here. And then some.

7:00 p.m.  Singer-Songwriter Series: The Music of Delbert McClinton NEW!

The amazing Delbert McClinton is an American blues rock-electric blues singer, songwriter, guitarist, harmonica player and pianist. He has been at his craft since 1957 and is still active, his most recent album released in 2022. He has won four Grammys, is in the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame, and was honored by the historic Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas with the fifth star in their Walk of Fame. This evening he is most deservedly introduced as this week’s featured singer-songwriter.

Look, there simply isn’t a better way to begin another tedious work week than finding a way to tune us in. We’re on 24/7 and we’re totally free. There is no commercial advertising ever.
