Hello, I must be going. Time again for my summer vacation. But not before I hand out your summer listening assignments. (And, yes, there will be a quiz when I’m back in the Fall!) I’ll also be spilling about the tasty, out-of-the-box, out of the truck treats I’ll be serving up when I come to your neighborhood. Tune in for the season finale Saturday night!

PLAYLIST FOR “BIG BEAUTIFUL BILLS!” 5.31.25
2 JunA couple weeks ago I made a joke calling myself the original Big Beautiful Bill. I thought it was pretty funny all things considered these days. But then I started worrying. What about Billy Wilder? Or Bill Buckley? Or Bill Russell? Or Bill Parcels? Or maybe even Barnacle Bill The Sailor? What about all big beautiful Bills? Didn’t I owe them an apology? So I played a couple of hours of singers, musicians, arrangers, and composers named Bill. I thought they fit the bill perfectly.
