You're the Cream in My Coffee

Thanks so much to all the WMBR supporters who pledged last week, both during Coffeetime and during all the shows. As I said endlessly (but mean with all my heart), you are part of the family!

I guess I won't be posting a playlist. My non-WMBR life is screaming at me for attention. But if there was any tune I played, give me a shout and I'll tell you what it was. This week's show (tomorrow's) will be back to business as usual.

Special thanks to all of my fellow WMBR-mates who helped answer phones for me (and kept me from climbing the walls): Tim Kelly of Friday's Late Risers Club, Jesse of Wednesday's The Intercontinental, Larry formerly of Wednesday's Lost & Found, Alex of Friday's Lost & Found, Mark of The WMBR Nightly News, Rebecca of Monday's Hook Heavy, and Doug of Saturday's Lost Highway. And to my special listener-helper, long time WMBR supporter Lynn.

Lots of hugs!

Alex sits in on CT

Hey! Much thanks to Alex McNeil for filling in for me this past Friday, June 1, on Coffeetime while I was at the Wellesley College commencement, cheering on my friend (and WMBR supporter) Lauren as she received her degree. (Yay, Lo!)

I did get to hear the show as I was driving home. Alex did a great interview with Howard Tate and then played his special mix of jazzy and otherwise poppy tunes from TV's past. (I sat in the broiling hot car in order to hear the Room 222 theme. Love it.) Below is his playlist. We both were at the Museum of National Heritage in Lexington Saturday night to hear Mr Tate perform. His voice is truly amazing… still.
