Our New ‘Three Part Harmonies’ EP, a CSNY Spotlight, and Live Allman Brothers are On Tap, Friday, October 11, 2024

Good morning, music lovers! We’re on the case today with a brand new EP of songs that use three-part harmonies, some live Allman Brothers Band and a CSNY Spotlight feature.

Here’s your Friday musical lineup:

9:00 a.m. Three Part Harmonies: Various Artists NEW!

We’ve got a brand new EP for you this morning of songs that employ three part harmonies. One of the things I noticed putting this together is just how many Beatle songs used it. In addition to The Beatles, you’ll hear Creedence Clearwater Revival, CSNY, The Beach Boys, Talking Heads, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Yes, The Band, Stevie Nicks, The Doobie Brothers, Queen, Paul McCartney & Wings, The Mamas & The Papas, The Allman Brothers Band, The Grateful Dead, The Who, Boston and more!

4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young

Speaking of three part harmonies, we have a band here that used it plenty. The second best supergroup (sorry, The Traveling Wilburys are first) on the planet is a back this afternoon.

8:00 p.m. The Allman Brothers Band Live at The Cow Palace, Daly City, CA, December 31, 1973

We haven’t spun this one for a while, so it’s high time we did! This is a great New Year’s Even show from the Brothers.

We’re at the cusp of the weekend and we’re here to get you over the finish line with some great music. We’re on the air 24/7, we’re free and we don’t air commercial advertising. The magic button is below.

The Magic Button.

On Monday, Monday It’s Badfinger, Our ‘All Fired Up’ Playlist and The Beatles at The Hollywood Bowl on September 16, 2024

Good morning, musicologists! We return to the work week today, but we’ve got you covered from the music perspective, including some rare ‘live’ Beatles later!

Here’s your Monday, Monday music:

10:00 a.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Badfinger

This band was one of the best ever signed to Apple Records, with a string of great hits in the seventies beginning with Come And Get It which was written by Lennon-McCartney. But Pete Ham continued the hits with Day After Day and No Matter What. And who can forget the closing scenes of Breaking Bad and Pete Ham’s Baby Blue playing through the final scene?

4:00 p.m. All Fired Up: Various Artists

Not an EP, but darned close. You’ll hear Basia, Electric Light Orchestra, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Joni Mitchell, Three Dog Night, Ann Peebles, the Marshall Tucker Band, Patti Smith, Hoyt Axton, Gram Parsons, Stevie Nicks, Steely Dan, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and more!

8:00 p.m. The Beatles Live at The Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles, CA, August 23, 1964 NEW!

The Beatles were not road warriors, mostly because they became frustrated that their music was not being ‘heard’ by the screaming, teeming masses. They remember the Hollywood Bowl performances fondly, however, even though their crowds were not the biggest by today’s standards. But back in 1964, 18,700 fans attending a concert was pretty formidable. The opening acts for this show were The Righteous Brothers and Jackie DeShannon.

We embark on another week together and we promise to do all we can to make your work week tolerable by offering up some of the best music on the planet. Yes, it’s all free 24/7 and there is absolutely no commercial advertising. The button is below.

Just Push Play!

Monday Brings Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash in Nashville ’69, the ‘By the Numbers’ Playlist, and ‘Live’ Little Feat, May 15, 2023

Monday rolls around again every week, unfortunately, but we’ve got some great music to get you through starting with Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash’s Nashville sessions, vintage 1969, our ‘By the Numbers’ multi-artist playlist and Little Feat bringing up the rear.

Here’s your Monday, Monday lineup:

11:00 a.m. Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash: The Nashville Sessions, February 1969

Recorded at Columbia Studios in Nashville on February 17 and 18, 1969. Their duet Girl From the North Country would appear on Dylan’s Nashville Skyline album in April of that year.

3:00 p.m. By the Numbers: Various Artists

A playlist with numbers as the topic in the title, lyrics or both from Three Dog Night, Chicago, Mudcrutch, J. J. Cale, Steely Dan, James Taylor, Bob Dylan, Eddie Cochran, Asleep at The Wheel, The Beatles, The Grass Roots, The Byrds, Stevie Nicks, Rosanne Cash, The Lovin’ Spoonful, Wilson Pickett, Paul Simon, Johnny Rivers, The Doors, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and more!

7:00 p.m. Little Feat Live at Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, July 20, 1973

Little Feat closes the programming day out live from Ebbets Field in Colorado, vintage 1973.

Let’s face it, Monday sucks. But we can help make it better if you simply tune us in. You don’t need a credit card. You won’t hear any commercial advertising. And we’re on 24/7 in case you have insomnia or live in another time zone. Just do it.

Monday, Monday

The Heartbreakers Are Back, Steve Winwood is In The Spotlight, and Valerie Carter Sings Our Album of The Week, Thursday, October 7, 2021

Good Morning, Petty Lovers! We’re back celebrating Tom Petty’s life today with a really excellent outing from the 30th Anniversary Tour in 2006.

Tom Petty performs at The Heartbreakers’ 30th Anniversary Concert in Gainesville, September 21, 2006

Here’s today’s line-up:

11:00 a.m. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Live at The Stephen C. O’Connell Center, Gainesville, Florida, September 21, 2006

This was a great outing all around as The Heartbreakers played their hometown on the 30th Anniversary Tour, replete with a visit from Stevie Nicks. We know you’ll enjoy this one.

3:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Just A Stones Throw Away by Valerie Carter

Sadly, we’re winding down on this week’s selection. This is our second to last airing, with the final being sometime on Saturday. Get it while you can. This is a great album, and Valerie Carter is a great singer-songwriter.

7:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Steve Winwood

Steve Winwood has given us so much great music over the years. This Spotlight feature covers his time with The Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, Traffic, and his solo career. You’ll hear a song titled Valerie in this set which is, oddly enough, said to be about the late, great Valerie Carter (see above). I saw him live at Great Woods (not when it was The Tweeter Center or The Comcast Center), and it was one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen.

Join us today and celebrate Tom Petty Month with us. You won’t regret it. This is just one of the live performances you’ll hear this month, and it is one of the best shows The Heartbreakers have ever done.

Today It’s The Best of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Live, The All-Girl Revue #4, and Our Album of The Week, Thursday, June 10, 2021

Here we go! We’re past the hump and heading for the end of the week. We’ve got a great line-up for you guys today here in The Mermaid Lounge, starting with one of our House Bands!

Here’s today’s line-up:

11:00 a.m. Deb’s Stream: The Best of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Live

We work really hard to make sure we don’t compete with Tom Petty Radio. It’s really hard not to overplay these guys, but we think we keep it in control pretty well. (We have the same problem with The Beatles and Linda Ronstadt.)

This entry is totally subjective. There are no experts. Some of my Petty fan friends and I came up with this list. These are the songs that we think are the best that they’ve done on stage, and we confess that there is one entry in here from Mudcrutch that could not be denied a place on this list. What we’ve got here is a playlist of just over two hours of the best damned live stuff we’ve ever heard from one of the most amazing live bands ever.

3:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Old Yellow Moon by Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell

We’re winding down on this week’s album. This is the next to last airing, with the final coming sometime Saturday. Get it in while you can because there will be a brand new album come Sunday when you roll yourselves out of bed.

7:00 p.m. The All-Girl Revue, Volume 4: Various Artists

We have five of these now, and we haven’t heard volume four for a while, so this is a good time to get it in. You’ll hear Carly Simon, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt, Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, The Shirelles, Emmylou Harris, Stevie Nicks, Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield, Aretha Franklin, and more!

Blah. Blah. Blah. Here’s where we go into the hard sell, if that’s what you want to call it. We don’t make a dime on this radio station. In fact, it’s paid out of my pocket. It’s truly a labor of love. I’m sharing my personal music collection, which is quite substantial. (I’m pretty old and have been listening to and buying music forever, so it should be.) It’s what we call a labor of love that runs 24/7 and asks for nothing in return…except, of course, that you tune us in.

We Open With the Original All-Girl Revue, Move to Jackson Browne Live at The Main Point, and Close With the Iconic Beatles Rooftop Concert, Friday, April 9, 2021

We’re back with programming today, but just in the right amounts. We’ve got a new “live” event today as we bring in some new material for the spring and summer, and we’ve added some new music, which we’ll tell you about in a separate blog entry later today.

The Beatles Rocked the Apple Rooftop Back in ’69 for a glorious 42 minutes.

Here’s today’s line-up:

11:00 a.m. The Original All-Girl Revue: Various Artists

The very first “all-girls” list we ever put together is back with Carly Simon, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt, Lulu, Janis Joplin, Mary Wells, Joan Baez, Melanie, Roberta Flack, Shawn Colvin, Sheryl Crow, The Supremes, Fontella Bass, Stevie Nicks, and more!

3:00 p.m. Jackson Browne Live at The Main Point, Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, August 15, 1973 NEW!

This is a short (by today’s standards, of course) sweet, spirited set by Jackson Browne along with brilliant multi-instrumentalist David Lindley which took place at the now-defunct Main Point, a small, intimate venue.

7:00 p.m. The Beatles: The Complete Apple Rooftop Concert, January 30, 1969

For 42 glorious minutes, The Beatles thrilled the lunchtime crowd with an impromptu concert on the rooftop of Apple headquarters at 3 Saville Row before the Metropolitan Police shut them down for excessive noise. Billy Preston joined them on keyboards.
