This message came in from Debbie Daughtry a couple of days ago. Her fellow Boss Radio 66 DJ is, of course, Tom Hanks.
Hey Doug! What is your hoodie size and mailing address? Tom had some Boss Radio 66 sweatshirts made up and I’d like to send you one. Thanks!
And here it is. Thanks 66 times over, Tom and Debbie!
For the past couple of months I have been very pleased with the BBC Sounds plugin on the Lyrion music server network. Now the BBC is ending Sounds access outside of the UK. The only radio stations that will be available are the World Service and Radio 4. Is this fallout from Trump’s tariff madness?
One of Ken Burns’ best documentaries is Empire of the Air. The companion book by Tom Lewis is recommended for a fuller understanding of the connections and disputes between Sarnoff the businessman, Armstrong the inventor, and De Forest the fraud.
Did he ever leave? Every Tuesday at 1 PM ET, Tomboy Hanks is in Playtone Records parking lot, playing records from the back of his station wagon.
What is You.Radio?
I’m not finding any real information about the service, except what the Lyrion player is showing about where it originates. I’ve added several of You.Radio’s “Exclusively” channels to my Lyrion favorites.
I’m listening to a BBC Radio 2 tribute show for DJ Johnnie Walker, who passed away on December 31. I followed his “Sounds of the 70s” show on Sundays for years.
