thanks, are you saying that the donnie scales 45 is a known record? I didn't know anyone knew it. Thanks.

Thanks for posting this up, cant wait to hear it.

I just got in from a long bike ride and was listening totally to ' Sitting in the Park' downloaded shows on my ipod !! They are incredible and I have discovered so much new music I never knew at all ! Thanks Bob !

Is there a way to pledge support for the station from the uk ? possibly online ?

I know I for one would be poorer if this great show ended, even just for hearing Bob start EVERY anouncement with "OK.....

Yes Boba it is known,i first got too know this on a Cd swap thing about 5 yrs ago,but must admit not seeing this on Vinyl at all,does it exsist on 45/lp. Graham

Thanks so much for listening, I appreciate it. I will try to work in some more 'uh's and 'ummms' on top of the okays for you!

I will ask if someone can take paypal somehow. At least you could get a cool shirt from a chicago radio station out of it. I will get back to you.

I'm doing my annual 'best-of' show in a couple of weeks after the pledge drive is over. I will also try to start putting up older shows since I'm doing so many interviews and fewer music shows now. Thanks again.

I played it off 45. A scan of my 45 is on dante's website. I generally only play 45s on my show (not because I believe original vinyl is the only way to listen to music but rather because I'm an obsessive loser). However, on this particular show I actually played a bunch of the revival stuff off cd. My friend's record label numero group recently put out an excellent comp of the label.

Heavenly mix.

Thanks a lot
