Here It Is - 5/16/05

I showed up for today's radio show an hour early by mistake. When it was a little before three, I was getting ready to go (since I'd been there for two hours already) and I looked up at the clock and noticed that it was only three. Which meant I had a whole hour left to go.

There's a lot of good stuff here.

Things I played for the first time and liked:
X, Blondie, Mary J. Blige, Big Brother & The Holding Company, Dana & Susan Robinson, Sade, Thelma Houston

The Randy Crawford with Eric Clapton and David Sanborn was a new one to me too but it wasn't as good as I'd hoped.

Everything else I'd heard before.

Have you? Look at the list. No, really, look at the list.
