Hi, Andy--okay, I'll bite, what's the "Eleven" connection? Were these all recorded on the 11th day of their respective months?
Keep on Radiolaing!
Randy,
Aside from the title (and the clip from "Spinal Tap") the show was very non-cryptic. (Of course, if I'd thought of the idea you mentioned, I might have used it!)
I was just celebrating my eleventh wedding anniversary--and I basically despaired of trying to get a two-hour show out of "eleven" itself. (And "twelve" is just as grim--and fraught with peril. I'd have to play "The Dirty Dozens!") So I concentrated the playlist totally on the "anniversary" and not at all on the "eleven."
Your great use of "mini-themes" on Forward Into the Past is perfect for such things. For "eleven," you would have used, say, "Seven or Eleven (My Dixie Pair O'Dice)," "Eleven More Months and Ten More Days," "Seven Come Eleven," "'Leven Pounds of Heaven," and "Eleven Thirty Saturday Night." But I would have been left with ninety minutes of dead air!
Andy
Themed or not, Andy...a program filled with treats! Thanks!
