Self Help Radio 071525: Good Enough

The outside marquee of a local bar which reads "LIVE MUSIC" & under it, the phrase "Not Just Good. Good Enough" with the Self Help Radio logo interposed on the sign.

That's a bar in my hood - I think its official name is the Old Gilbert Road Tavern - there's no indication at that anywhere on the bar, just this sign outside & a sign that says "BAR" - anyway on the marquee that should be for bands playing there, except bands don't play there (as far as I can tell), they put snarky things up - lots of times quotes from The Simpsons - & a couple weeks ago I saw this. I had already planned a show with the theme "good enough" when this magically appeared. I took the picture above yesterday!

It was a lonesome show - just me & lots of music. So there's not much else to say. I did try not to say this phrase over & over: "Self Help Radio is not usually a good radio show, but at least tonight it's good enough." But I wanted to!

Listen to a good enough episode of Self Help Radio at either the KBOO web site or at the Self Help Radio website. The latter may need a username (SHR) & a password (selfhelp). It's mostly music so I can just share with you the playlist below. I hope that's good enough.
