Nine episodes! I guess I'm lucky I'm at the end of over a century of recorded music - this show includes music from 1901 & music from 2008. & lots in-between!
It's no secret - I haven't made it a secret - that the show is pre-recorded. I sit up late at night, usually Thursday night/Friday morning - listening to music, recording an airbreak, listening to more music, rinse, repeat, until it's all done. This week was weird because Friday morning began the "snowpocalypse," when a large amount of the white stuff fell on Lexington, & I felt like I had to say something about it, even in passing, although it had yet to happen. So in a sense, I was lying on the air when I talked about snow being everywhere. I don't think that it really affects the show in any major way - people who were born or died on January 23 would have stayed the same, snow or not - but it is something I noticed when I listened last night. I felt like a fibber.
In any event, here it is, the ninth episode of Cradle To Grave. It's over at the Self Help Radio website, where you can find the username & password necessary for the listening. The songs I played, divided into birthdays (first hour) & days of death (second hour) are below.
