"Hot and Heavy" -- May 12, 2006 @ 7 PM EDT

(Week 39)

This Very Special RADIOLA! is dedicated to those among us who (owing to the unfashionable manifestation of our metabolical imbalance) are subject to the slings, arrows, brickbats, and divers blunt instruments of even those who proclaim themselves Politically Correct. (Actually, especially them. They have to take their nastiness out on somebody.) This RADIOLA! is comfort food for the large person's soul--three hours of music including stellar performances by some of the biggest (and heaviest) stars of early pop and jazz. There is also an abundance of suitable topical material, some requests, and a few incongruities. This show is packed with music for your enjoyment--and to keep me from editorializing more than is absolutely necessary. The fun starts at 7 PM, as it will for the remainder of the summer, on WHCL-FM 88.7, in Clinton, NY, at beautiful Hamilton College.
