It’s a Wilbury Wednesday Today, But We Kick It Off With Our ‘Here Comes The Night’ Multi-Artist EP, March 20, 2024

We finally have a Wilbury Wednesday on tap with a great playlist, but we are kicking things off with our ‘Here Comes The Night’ multi-artist EP first!

Here’s your midweek musical lineup:

9:00 a.m. Here Comes The Night: Various Artists

We closed the show with songs about the morning the other day, so it’s only fitting we open today with songs about the night time. You’ll hear Warren Zevon, The J. Geils Band, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Them, The Beatles, Van Morrison, Patti Smith, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Electric Prunes, Phoebe Snow, Joe Walsh, The Eagles, The Beatles, John Cougar Mellencamp, The Doors, Poco, Emmylou Harris, Neil Diamond, The Animals, The Rolling Stones, Don McLean, Steve Winwood, The Traveling Wilburys, Sam Cooke, Jimmy Cliff and Bonnie Raitt.

7:00 p.m. The Traveling Wilburys: The Bootleg Collection

The best supergroup on the planet, bar none, is back with outtakes, alternative takes, works-in-progress and the final product in nearly three hours of great music. Not to be missed.

Before, in between and after we’ve got our big, wide Open Stream of more than 27,000 songs continually circulating for your listening pleasure…always at no charge to you and with absolutely no commercial interruption.

It’s Wilbury Wednesday!

Monday, Monday Brings More Cowbell, Joni Mitchell and Warren Zevon To the Mermaid Lounge, March 18, 2024

Good morning, music lovers. Yes, the work week has returned, but it’s not all bad. We’ve got some great stuff going on in The Lounge today. So, tune us in if you can!

Here’s your Monday lineup:

10:00 a.m. More Cowbell, Please: Various Artists

Bet you never knew there were so many songs with cowbell. We’ve got just over three hours today with The Beatles (the best cowbell ever on “I Call Your Name”), The Alan Parson’s Project, Argent, Aretha Franklin, CSNY, Edgar Winter, The Eagles, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Electric Light Orchestra, Harry Nilsson, the J. Geils Band, Joe Walsh, The Move, Linda Ronstadt, Journey, The Pretenders, Steely Dan, The Move, Little Feat, Creedence Clearwater Revival and more.

4:00 p.m. Joni Mitchell Live at Red Rocks Amphitheater, Morrison, CO, July 30, 1983

Nothing like a little ‘live’ Joni Mitchell in the afternoon, that’s what I always say. Today she’s live from the amazing natural surroundings of Red Rocks.

7:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Warren Zevon

We haven’t aired this one in a while, so it’s time to break it out. Although a troubled soul through most of his life, he was a brilliant songwriter with a rich rock and roll voice.

This is the first day of the work week, and a good day to lock your office doors and tune in the music. I say ease yourself back into reality rather than jolt yourself. We’re waiting for you.

Friday Brings a Fillmore East Focus With CSNY and Laura Nyro, Along With Our ‘Looks Like Rain’ Playlist, March 15, 2024

Good morning and welcome to the cusp of the weekend, my friends. We’ve got a focus on some live Fillmore East today with CSNY and Laura Nyro, plus our ‘Looks Like Rain’ playlist.

Here’s your Friday lineup:

10:00 a.m. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Live at The Fillmore East, New York, January 5, 1970

We start off the morning with the second best supergroup on the planet (sorry, the Wilburys reign). These guys, however, made some amazing music together, in spite of the fact that they were a bit dysfunctional on a personal level. We’ve got them live from the Fillmore East.

2:00 p.m. Looks Like Rain: Various Artists

This is appropriate for where I am today since it’s pouring out there this morning. We’ve got The Rascals, Willie Nelson, The Grateful Dead, Peter, Paul & Mary, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Ann Peebles, The Beatles, Maria Muldaur, Fats Domino, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Gordon Lightfoot, J.D. Souther, the James Gang, The Lovin’ Spoonful, The Temptations, Warren Zevon and more.

8:00 p.m. Laura Nyro Live at The Fillmore East, New York, March 30, 1971

We return to the Fillmore East this evening to close out the programming with the late, great Laura Nyro. Yes, she was a songwriter who put many singers on the map, but there is nothing like hearing Laura sing her own songs.

We are one day away from the weekend. I’ve been down for the count with COVID, but I am negative today and things are looking up. We’ve got some great music to get you through and we’re totally free of charge and intend to remain so.

Finally Friday!

Living is Easy on Sunday With Our New AOW From Jimmy Buffett and the ‘What’s In a Name’ Multi-Artist EP, September 3, 2023

Good morning, music lovers! It’s Sunday in The Mermaid Lounge and the living is easy with our brand new AOW from Jimmy Buffett (yes, this was on the list before his sad passing) and our ‘What’s In a Name’ multi-artist EP starting mid-afternoon.

Here’s your musical lineup:

11:00 a.m. Album of The Week: Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes by Jimmy Buffett NEW!

Affectionately known as the Mayor of Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffett passed away on September 1. There was a lot of mystery surrounding his health prior to this, but it is now known that he passed form Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare form of skin cancer. Jimmy Buffett was a hell of a ride. If you’ve ever seen him ‘live’ you know his shows were a blast. He was a guy who took music seriously, but had a good time doing it and his ‘Parrotheads’ did as well.

I saw him at Fenway Park in Boston in the early 2000’s, the first time I’d ever seen a musical act at Fenway. It was unbelievable. I took a Buffett shamer with me to the show. Even he had a blast and confessed he went out and bought this very album after. This is as good an album as anyone has released. There isn’t a song we don’t like, and it was on our list from the beginning. I moved it up. Circumstances called for that.

3:00 p.m. What’s In a Name: Various Artists

A fun EP here with songs including names in the title, lyrics or both. Some people are real. Some people are not. You’ll hear Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Them, Janis Joplin, Simon & Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Donovan, Steve Winwood, Bonnie Raitt, Shawn Colvin, Carly Simon, Warren Zevon, Laura Nyro, Bobbie Gentry, The Kinks, Three Dog Night, The Association, Joni Mitchell, Badfinger, Linda Ronstadt, Steely Dan, Chi Coltrane, Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, James Taylor, Tony Joe White and more!

Kick back, relax and chill. It’s a day of rest. If there’s a big guy up there, he even took the day off. We’re on 24/7 (not just during programming), we are totally free of charge, and ask for nothing…no personal info or credit card. Nada. Zero. Zip. Zilch. What’s not to love?

All Hail Jimmy Buffett!
