Good morning, music lovers and welcome to midweek here in The Mermaid Lounge. We’ve got a great lineup, including a great Beatles playlist featuring songs with time changes.
Here’s your midweek musical lineup:
9:00 a.m. Friends of Mine: Various Artists

4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Elton John
When Elton John stepped into the music world in 1969, we had no idea how good he was going to be. Over more than five decades, he and his writing mate, Bernie Taupin, have created some great music together.
8:00 p.m. The Beatles: A Change In Time
There is absolutely no debate that The Beatles are the greatest rock band in the world, bar none. They created the music that changed the world, and — encouraged by the great George Martin — employed creative techniques that set them apart from the rest. Tonight we have a playlist of Beatle songs incorporating time changes.
We’re at midweek. After today, we’ll be on the downslide to the weekend once again. So, why not get there in style with the best music on the planet. That’s what we’re all about.
