The lazy calm at the week's start. A few live performances included, but mainly music with an ear tilted toward string-driven things.

Irene, I lived in Boston in the mid-70s when, for a while, there was a real flowering of folk on the radio. Your show today is taking me back like a fast train. Keep up the great work. | |

happy beautiful autumn, Irene! the first '45 I ever bought was The Sons of the Pioneers singing "Cool Water". Where did they all disappear to? | |

The first one I bought was "Old Fashioned Love Song" by Three Dog Night. | |

Joe:
So far, you show is exactly replicating the satellite radio channel my old alcoholic boss used to play when I worked the KeyFood deli night shift. That is to say, you're replicating super awesome dopeness. Please, continue. | |
|
Mon. 10/20/08 4:05pm

Slow dancing barefoot on the club floor, smoking still allowed indoors, a spilled drink, the patio doors open to the summer evening, cicadas and fireflies outside, candle lanterns lit on the patio, Her hair is down..a slow kiss.....that is what this show sounds like. | |
|
Mon. 10/20/08 4:17pm
jeanine:
I was gonna say that this show sounds like WCBS-FM only ten times better.. but that's a better description. | |
|
Mon. 10/20/08 4:18pm
Tvox:
You've got me falling in and out of sleep in the easy chair by the fire, metaphorically speaking. Audio hot cocoa. Yum. It's all about the midrange, warm bass, and muted high tones. Analog oil painting on the air waves. | |
|
Mon. 10/20/08 4:19pm
paulinbrighton:
mmm, yes, very nice'ncosytoesy, Irene. | |
|
Mon. 10/20/08 4:20pm

Steve:
I've always cherished this one | |
|
Mon. 10/20/08 4:35pm
Cecile:
Irene, were you ever into the Guess Who? Because you have played two of my favorite reliable hitmaker 60s bands already (association and Tommy James and the Shondells), and some of their more offbeat things might fit in... | |
|
Mon. 10/20/08 4:36pm
Parq:
"Walk Away Renee" was doubly welcome, both on its on and as an oblique RIP to Levi Stubbs (the 4Ts covered "Renee"). | |
|
Mon. 10/20/08 4:40pm
Cecile:
thank you for playing this version - it's better than the Irish Steve and Stan Chevy Cooley version. | |
