It’s Eclipse Day With ‘Under The Sun & Moon’, ‘Live’ Government Mule, and a Santana Spotlight, Monday, April 8, 2024

Good morning, eclipse viewers! Welcome to Monday in The Mermaid Lounge where we appropriately give you our ‘Under The Sun & Moon’ playlist at mid-day.

Here’s your musical lineup:

10:00 a.m. Government Mule Live at The Roseland Ballroom, New York, NY, October 22, 1996

If you like jam bands, this is one of the best, featuring ex-Allman Brother Warren Haynes on guitar. Today we’ve got them live from Roseland Ballroom.

3:00 p.m. Under The Sun & Moon: Various Artists

Right after the eclipse, we give you our ‘Under The Sun & Moon’ playlist featuring Yusuf/Cat Stevens, Linda Ronstadt, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Nina Simone, Norah Jones, Little Feat, America, Foo Fighters, Joni Mitchell, The Kinks, The Wallflowers, Rosanne Cash, Tom Rush, Emmylou Harris, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Laura Nyro, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and more!

7:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Santana

We close out today’s programming with a great Spotlight feature from Santana.

Don’t forget. Don’t be like The Orange Blob and look directly at the eclipse without NASA-approved glasses. Make America smart again. And we’re trying to make America listen to the radio again, just like the old days before you paid for your music.
