What's Next?? Show #34
AIR DATE: 06/21/13 12a-3a 91.3 WWUH, West Hartford CT
PROGRAM NOTES:
The Summer Solstice occurred during my show at 1:04AM EDT, so naturally, I did a Summer themed show. Also, at the request of my daughter, I played some songs for her, since it was the start of her Summer vacation (and she was able to stay up late to listen!) A few weeks ago, I did a Summer-themed set, which contained several versions of Gershwin's "Summertime" (admittedly, one of my favorite Summer songs!) I played several tonight, but I didn't repeat any from the show a few weeks back.
Side 2@2 was a tough call for me, I usually decide on that before the show starts, but it was up in the air tonight. After looking through the WWUH record library's Grateful Dead section, I selected "Terrapin Station." The Dead seems to conjure up the essence of summer in my eyes, so it appeared to be an obvious choice. Side 2 of "Terrapin" runs rather short, so I played a few other additional Dead songs after it.
