189 The Sweet
A great show and an eye-opener for those who, like me, had never considered The Sweet outside of their Hit Single persona. There was quite a light hidden underneath that bushel.
The Big Hits were dealt with in the preshow, and the rest was solid gold. And at least 27 listeners agreed, an extremely satisfying attendance for a holiday season show.

The Quieter Bits (by the Noisier Artists)
Just to calm things down a little for everybody among the hecticism of pre-Xmas, this week’s offering is a selection of the not-quite-so-noisy songs by artists normally known to be rather the opposite, so join us, lean back, and be aware that “quieter” is a relative term…
This will be our last show of the year, and we will be back on January 2nd.
