"Paper Moon" October 16, 2009 INTERNET ONLY

(Week 183)

UPDATE: For a limited time download this program in 128k here: HOUR 1 and HOUR 2

This RADIOLA! greets with skepticism any notion of monkeying with the moon.

On a more positive note, we celebrate the music of Perry Bechtel, the extraordinary guitarist and banjoist who helped design the Martin OM-28--the basis of the flattop acoustic guitars now played everywhere. (Many thanks to Paul Alcantara for sending me his excellent article on Bechtel in issue #98 of Guitar Buyer magazine.)

Owing to WHCL-FM being closed for Fall Break, tonight's show will be available only on my Live365 station.
