Good morning, workers, and welcome to The Mermaid Lounge! We’ve got a great lineup today sprinkled in between all that big, wide Open Stream. Read on for details!

Here’s your Monday, Monday lineup:

10:00 a.m. One-Hit Wonders: Various Artists

4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Jeff Lynne

This afternoon we put Jeff Lynne ‘In The Spotlight’ with his music from The Move, the leader of Electric Light Orchestra, and as Otis, a founding member of the best damned supergroup on the planet, The Traveling Wilburys.

8:00 p.m. The Doors Live at Cobo Arena, Detroit, MI, May 8, 1970

We close out the day’s programming with The Doors live from Motor City, just two months before Jim Morrison’s untimely death.

We’re back for another work week and we’ve got a lot of big, wide Open Stream to start it off! Remember, we’re free with absolutely no commercial interruption, and we’re never off air. We’re all about the music.

We Spend Friday With Linda Ronstadt & Her Friends, ‘One Hit Wonders’ and Sam Cooke Live in Miami, July 19, 2024

Good morning, musicologists! We have made it to Friday once again and we’re packed with some great programming today from Ronstadt and her many singing friends, some ‘One Hit Wonders’ from the sixties and Sam Cooke live in Miami, vintage 1963.

Here’s your Friday lineup:

10:00 a.m. Linda Ronstadt & Friends: Duets and More

In site of her amazing solo career, Linda Ronstadt always preferred to sing as part of a bigger whole, perhaps because she grew up singing with her family. She has indeed been in very good company from a musical perspective. You will hear her with Hoyt Axton, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, J.D. Souther, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Paul Simon, Wendy Waldman, Valerie Carter, Maria Muldaur, Neil Young and more!

3:00 p.m. One-Hit Wonders: Sixties Style

Every generation has them, and the sixties are no exception. You’ll hear Mama Cass, Merilee Rush, Gary Lewis & The Playboys, The Exciters, The Edwin Hawkins Singers, The Nashville Teens, The Standells, The Youngbloods, Scott McKenzie, The Contours, The Easybeats, Bobby Hebb, Robert Knight and more!

8:00 p.m. Sam Cooke Live at The Harlem Square Club, Miami, FL, January 12, 1963

The late and undeniably great main event known as Sam Cooke delivers a live performance to close out today’s programming. There’s a reason why Sam Cooke is universally known as the ‘King of Soul’ for his contributions to the genre.

It’s a great day to tune us in because it’s FRIDAY! We’re on 24/7 and we’re totally free. And before, in between and after this great programming we deliver our big, wide Open Stream!
