"Duty and Tribute" June 20, 2008

(Week 127)

This RADIOLA! is in observance of my jury summons (and my utter unwillingness to send anyone to the pokey), and in celebration of Al Gallodoro's 95th birthday (as well as Vol. 3 of "The Big Broadcast" CDs). It's all about mixed feelings--but who am I to judge?

Tune in tonight at 8 PM Eastern (7 PM Central) to WHCL (with streaming HERE). At 10 PM, owing to what I'm told is overwhelming popular demand, "Hammond Bacon" will return for a special broadcast.

UPDATE: Though it's not for the faint of heart, you can download the latest installment of Hammond Bacon HERE.
