132R Chicago part II

Covering the period from their recovery from the death of Terry Kath onwards, there were a lot of changes to go through and some lacklustre albums too.    Hugh had selected the best tracks, and we updated the show with two tracks from the latest album Chicago XXXVIII: Born For This Moment, released in 2022.

258 The Sky’s the Limit

A great set of tracks put together by Hugh around the subject of the sky.   Lots of slower stuff and a wide variety of styles, but all great music and well liked by our audience, which grew to 31 at one point and stayed at 28 for a long while.   Very happy with that.

The Michael Feinstein track Skywriting was cut short in the main show, and the full track was added to the postshow.  My fault, a bad reformatting of the wma original by Audacity.

130R Chicago part 1

A selection of tracks from the celebrated jazz-rock-pop band Chicago, going up to the eleventh studio album just before the death of Terry Kath.  I’m a big fan of early Chicago, no surprise as I’m a jazz fan from way back, and I had a lot of input to this show – the second show is mostly Hugh.  23 listeners peak, a good number, for which we thank you.

Since I talked a lot about the covers, I’ve linked images of them to the album names.  The ones we missed out are Chicago at Carnegie Hall, which is number 4 in the sequence (White Tile), and Chicago IX – Chicago’s Greatest Hits (Painted Billboard)

256 Nancy & Lee

Put together for us by Martin Lewis, this was a trip through the years that Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood collaborated both as a duet and with Nancy singing songs written and produced by Hazelwood.  A good number in the audience, with a few new names and some returning explorers, up to 26 at one point.

Our tenth anniversary as a broadcasting team, Edison’s usual review of the year was extended to take in all of our previous shows.  And a great selection of tracks was the result, appreciated by up to 24 listener connections and a good crowd in the cavern.

126R Rarities and What-ifs 9

A substantially remastered show that originally ran long and we managed to make into one that ran short. Oh well.     Lots of listeners, very gratifying.  I even sang…  and nobody complained.

The postshow was extended to compensate for the short main show.

254 All At Sea

Sea-related tracks assembled by Hugh from his impressive collection, including movie soundtrack items, Classica, folk and all varieties of rock.  Over 20 listener connections – a good number for us recently 🙂  Thanks folks, and join us again.
