Here’s your musical lineup:

9:00 a.m. The Psychedelic Express: Various Artists

We hop on board promptly at 9:00 a.m. for a musical mind-bending trip to the past when psychedelia was king (or queen, as it were).

4:00 p.m. Traffic Live at Woodstock ’94, Winston Farm, Saugerties, New York, August 14, 1994

It sure wasn’t Woodstock ’69 but, nevertheless, Traffic was there!

8:00 p.m. The Beatles: Sunny Side Up NEW!

We made this one at the suggestion of a listener from Denmark: Beatle songs with the words sun or sunshine in the title, lyrics or both! If we’ve missed any, please let us know in the comments and we’ll ad them before the next airing!

11:00 p.m. One-Hit Wonders: The Sixties

We repeat this playlist from a week or so ago at the request of a few of our global listeners who missed it!

We have officially hit the weekend and the living is easy! We’re on 24/7. We’re totally free. We do not accept commercial advertising. What could be better?

The Psychedelic Express!

The Final Airing of REVOLVER, Traffic Live at Woodstock ’94, Queen in The Spotlight, and Tonight’s Live Dead on Saturday, September 5, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! As usual, it’s a pretty busy Saturday here in The Mermaid Lounge. Today, we wish Freddie Mercury a happy birthday with a special Spotlight edition.

Traffic-Woodstock 94

Here’s today’s line-up:

11:00 a.m.    Album of the Week: Revolver by The Beatles   FINAL AIRING!

Today, we bid Revolver a fond farewell. Tomorrow, there’ll be a brand new Album of the Week on the blog.

3:00 p.m.      Traffic Live at Woodstock ’94

Woodstock ’94 sure wasn’t the original, but anywhere Bob Dylan and Traffic show up to play can’t be all bad.

7:00 p.m.      In the Spotlight: The Music of Queen   NEW!

Today, we’ wish Freddie Mercury a Happy Birthday. If he were alive today, he’d be 72 years old, the oldest member of the classic Queen line-up. Although he passed in 1991, Queen’s music lives on.

10:00 p.m.    Live Dead! The Grateful Dead Live at The Fillmore West, San Francisco, November 7, 1969   NEW!

Another new airing of Live Dead, this one from 1969 at The Fillmore West. I have no idea how many times the band played at The Fillmore, but I promise you no two shows were ever the same. As usual.

I know. Here I go again, like a broken record. It’s time, people, to tune in a station that doesn’t charge you for music. That would be #BecomeUngovernable Radio. Just hit the link below.
