We’re at Midweek With Songs About Women, a Jakob Dylan ‘Spotlight’, and The Byrds Live, Wednesday, March 5, 2025

We’re at midweek in the land of fascism. We’re pushing back here and pushing through with some great music. It’ll make this a hell of a lot less painful. We’re on top if it with some excellent music today, starting with songs about women.

Here’s your midweek lineup:

9:00 a.m. The Female Species: Various Artists

Songs about dames, women, chicks, ladies…you’ll get the picture from Talking Heads, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Jackson Browne, John Mayall, Hot Tuna, The Eagles, Elvis Presley, Electric Light Orchestra, Percy Sledge, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, America, Roy Orbison, Billy Joel, Jimi Hendrix, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Linda Ronstadt, The Temptations, The Beach Boys and more!

4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Jakob Dylan

The great indie artist son of Bob is no slouch himself. A formidable songwriter and a great singer as a solo artist or with his band, The Wallflowers. He’s ‘In the Spotlight’ today.

8:00 p.m. The Byrds Live at The Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, CA, November 2, 1968 NEW!

We’ve located a new live performance of one of the most influential bands of the sixties to close out the evening’s programming.

We’re here 24/7 for you through bright times and dark…and these are very definitely dark times, folks. We don’t charge you. We don’t track you. We don’t run any commercial advertising. The button is below.

The Button.

On Monday It’s Jakob Dylan, The Rolling Stones and Our ‘On The Map’ Playlist With Plenty of Open Stream, July 8, 2024

Good morning, and welcome to another work week. We’ve got some great music front and center today, with plenty of wide Open Stream before, in between and after!

Here’s your musical landscape:

10:00 a.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Jakob Dylan (& The Wallflowers)

He may not be his father, but he’s no slouch, and that would be an awful lot to ask of anyone. But Jakob Dylan is a more-than-fair songwriter, and we’ve got him to open the programming with and without The Wallflowers.

3:00 p.m. The Rolling Stones Live at San Jose Arena, San Jose, CA, April 19, 1999

Billed as the ‘No Security’ Tour, the Stones sought out smaller venues to perform in on this particular tour.

Mondays don’t have to be bleak, people. Music is here to brighten your horizons. Just close your office door and pull up a tab. You can multi-task, right? Listen and work? And if you’re a work-at-home sort, even better.

Pull Up a Tab and Join Us.

We’re On the Downslide to The Weekend With The Wallflowers, Our Album of The Week, and ‘Live’ Bonnie Raitt, Thursday, September 8, 2022

Yes, folks, we’re heading for the weekend with some great music today. We’ve got Jakob Dylan & The Wallflowers In the Spotlight to start things off, Bonnie Raitt to close them out, and Roberta Flack’s AOW in between. What could be better?

Here’s today’s musical landscape:

11:00 a.m. In The Spotlight: Jakob Dylan & The Wallflowers

And some Jakob Dylan without The Wallflowers as well. Bob’s boy is no slouch. He comes from great genetic stock when it comes to being a singer-songwriter. Today we put him and his mates front and center to start it all off.

3:00 p.m. Album of The Week: First Take by Roberta Flack

This will be our next-to-last airing of this great R & B album by Roberta Flack. This seems to be on everyone’s list of the best R & B albums ever made, and rightfully so. Give it a listen before it goes away. Saturday will be the final airing. Time TBD.

7:00 p.m. Bonnie Raitt Live In Studio: The Wonderland Tape, Vara Studios, Hilversum, The Netherlands, August 5, 1977

Enjoy this early Bonnie Raitt outing, a rare copy of the original tape complete with raw material, some of which was used for broadcast on Dutch television. This is a mono recording, but should captivate any Bonnie Raitt fan.

Kick back and enjoy some music from The Mermaid Lounge. You’re always in good hands here with The Music Mermaid in charge. She’s got her shit together. (At least musically.) We’re on 24/7 totally free and uninterrupted by commercial advertising of any kind. We’re all about the music.

Today we give you our latest EP called ‘The Female Species’

Here’s your Saturday line-up:

9:00 a.m. Album of The Week: Smiley Smile by The Beach Boys FINAL AIRING!

It’s sayonara after today for this “theoretical” album of nineteen songs that actually never came to fruition. It’s complicated. If you want to learn more about Smiley Smile before it goes away, simply click on the Album of the Week image in the sidebar!

7:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Jakob Dylan (& The Wallflowers)

Friend of The Lounge, Jakob Dylan, son of Bob, great musician, celebrated his 52nd birthday a few days ago. We thought it was only fitting that we put him In The Spotlight, both with and without his Wallflowers.

10:00 p.m. LIVE DEAD! The Grateful Dead Live at The Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, CA, August 13, 1975

This is a rare repeat performance, but it has been well over a year since its initial airing here, so it’s back in circulation! Every show is a new show when we’re talking about The Grateful Dead.

Saturdays are always our busiest here, but we’ve still got plenty of wide Open Stream before, in between, and after this great programming. Join listeners from Austria, Germany, the UK, Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Russian Federation, Cleveland, San Francisco, Virginia, France, Faroe Islands, Netherlands, and points beyond.

Here’s Saturday’s line-up:

We Celebrate Linda Ronstadt’s Birthday With All Linda Programming, Save for Our Album of The Week, Thursday, July 15, 2021

Good Morning, Music Lovers! It’s Thursday and it’s also Linda Ronstadt’s 75th birthday. We have people who are our “house” favorites. Linda is one of them. We plan on featuring these artists on our five-year anniversary, so stay tuned. But today and tomorrow? These are Linda days.

Here’s today’s line-up:

11:00 a.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Linda Ronstadt

We cover Linda’s career from her very early days with The Stone Poneys up until her very last album. That’s a fifty-year career span. Ronstadt always says that she doesn’t identify herself as a rock n’ roll singer, but during the 70s, she was the number one female rock singer on the planet, selling out arenas across the country and playing a 20-night stand at The Universal Amphitheatre. I know. I went to forty of those concerts across the country.

3:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Exit Wounds by The Wallflowers

Our second to last airing of this beauty, another great effort by Jakob Dylan and his mates. Our final airing will be on Saturday, so don’t miss this one.

7:00 p.m. Linda Ronstadt Live at The Orpheum Theatre, Boston, MA, May 14, 1995

This was one of the concerts I attended in a great old hall with excellent sound. Adding to the musical magic of the night was Valerie Carter as the opening act, and who joined Linda on stage for a few songs as well. Linda Ronstadt always said she would rather have been part of an all-girl band. We’ll get to that stuff tomorrow.

We will take two days to celebrate Ronstadt because there is that much material to cover, and because we remain committed to more open stream than programming. So, tune us in and help us celebrate Linda’s 75th year. Although she can no longer sing, she has left a great musical legacy behind.

We’ve got great blues-rock with the Crossroads Guitar Festival selections today!

Here’s your Tuesday Bluesday line-up:

11:00 a.m. Eric Clapton & Friends: The Crossroads Guitar Festival Revisited

7:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Exit Wounds by The Wallflowers

Today is the second airing of the great, new Wallflowers release, Exit Wounds. This is the first Wallflowers album in ten years, and it’s not to be missed. Songwriting is in Jakob Dylan’s blood for sure.

Tuesday Bluesday is always a great day to tune us in (at least that’s what I’ve been told by our listeners). Today will be no exception! We run 24/7 absolutely free and without commercial interruption.

It’s Sunday and The Wallflowers Own Our Album of The Week, While Our Extended Play Sixties Set List Starts This Afternoon, July 11, 2021

Good Morning, Gang! Here we are again on another Sunday in The Mermaid Lounge. We had a bit of an interruption in the flow with Fillmore Fest earlier in the month, but we’re back on track now!

The Wallflowers are back with their first new album in ten years and its our Album of The Week!

Here’s your Sunday Funday line-up:

11:00 a.m. Album of The Week: Exit Wounds by The Wallflowers NEW!

This guy is my personal songwriting favorite in the post-Petty era. Jakob Dylan recently gave an interview, in fact, in which he said that his friend Tom Petty loomed large over this album, his first in ten years with The Wallflowers. We are certainly glad they are back.

3:00 p.m. The Sixties Rotation, Volume Two: Various Artists

The music that inspired me to start this radio station is back for another uninterrupted five-hour stint today. We had a minor delay to pay honor to The Fillmore, but we are back on track now. This is the music that covers the mid-to-late sixties with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Doors, Janis Joplin (with and without Big Brother), The Kinks, The Grateful Dead, The Chambers Brothers, Melanie, The Temptations, The Stone Poneys (featuring Linda Ronstadt), The Band, Bob Dylan, The Four Tops, Cream, Derek & The Dominos, Scott McKenzie, The Mamas & The Papas, and many, many others.

Get off to an early start. We already have people listening in from the UK, France, Denmark, the Russian Federation, The Faroe Islands (look them up; it’s real), Switzerland, Germany, and our home base in the U.S. All are welcome. We’re free. There’s no commercial interruption, and no credit card required. All you need is a computer tab.
