Good morning, musicologists! The weekenders are here and we’ve got some great stuff lined up starting early this morning. You’ll need to roll yourself out of bed early today!

Here’s where we’re at today:

9:00 a.m. Album of The Week: Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes by Jimmy Buffett FINAL AIRING!

I have said over the years and will continue to say over the rest of my time on earth that this is one of my favorite albums of all time. If we can call Jimmy Buffett’s attractiion ‘a feeling,’ then we can call this album all about ‘a feeling.’ It’s complicated, and we don’t care. Because deep down inside, we’re all Parrot Heads.

11:00 a.m. Music From Laurel Canyon: Various Artists UPDATE COMING SOON!

This is the music incubator for two generations of geniuses, including those who melded rock with country and folk.

Souther, Harry Nilsson, Canned Heat, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, James Taylor, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band and more!

8:00 p.m. Singer-Songwriter Series: The Music of Mick Jagger & Keith Richards NEW!

How many songs have they given us? It’s still a mystery after all these years. Some say 165 songs, while others put it somewhere in the 300+ range. Why quibble? Either way, they’ve given us a boatload of great songs. They are this week’s featured singer-songwriters.

It’s the weekend, homies. Get on board. We’re on this jig 24/7 at no charge to the human race. And we don’t accept commercial advertising either. We’re all about the music. Swear to it.

This way to Laurel Canyon!
