267 A Winter Warmer
Tracks with warmth as a common factor, and mostly quiet ones too, although we did get a bit rowdy towards the end. Very effective – we almost sent our audience to sleep – although they say they were just listening quietly. A successful show.
A Winter Warmer
Seeing as those of us in the northern hemisphere of the roughly potato-shaped oversized pebble we call Earth are in what is generally called “winter” and therefore experience relatively cold weather, it’s time to get warmed up. Since we can’t mail everybody a bottle of strong ale (i.e., a winter warmer), we’ll have to make do with songs concerned with warmth, heat, and comforting things.

140R UnCovered II
Another set of tracks related only by their titles, and a good collection too. Well attended, with up to 28 listener connections. I was still suffering from the after-effects of pneumonia and had no voice, or energy, so wasn’t there. I hope this wasn’t a harbinger
Un-Covered II
This week, we will uncover another bunch of un-covered songs, i.e., tracks that share the same title, but nothing else. This format typically makes for a wide variety of styles, so we’re in for an interesting ride there.

266 The Eyes Have It
Tracks having the eyes, the windows of the soul, as part of their title and subject. This one assembled by Hugh, and very well appreciated too.
I was once again unable to attend as the virus had left me with bacterial pneumonia and I was really quite ill. Fortunately the antibiotics were doing their job. Unfortunately I was the battleground. Voice had completely gone.
I’m told that up to 20 listeners were connected, which is a very rewarding number indeed in a chilly January.
The Eyes Have It!
This week’s outing will see eye to eye with songs concerned with the, er, eye.

139R Live and Direct
Tracks taken from live albums or concert recordings and ones that we think are better than their studio equivalents. A lot of excellent music in this set and I was told that it went down well in the cavern. We may think of putting another set together.
I was unable to attend due to voice problems stemming from a winter respiratory virus.
Live and Direct
This week, we will delve into live performances. Particularly, ones that are regarded as being better than the studio recordings of the same tracks. So, pump up your air guitar, put on some solid footwear, fill up your lighter, and get ready for occasional headbanging. Also, if you’re the moshpit type, wear beerproof clothes.

265 Lost in 2024
The annual review of musicians and entertainers who died in the previous 12 months was very full this year, with some spilling over into the pre and postshow sets. The core audience stayed with us, to a max of 16 for the show, and were very appreciative in the cavern.
