8/15/09 0215-0328 UTC - WEAK Radio, 6925 USB, tribute show for electric guitar pioneer Les Paul.  SINPO - 34223, heavy static crashes, some fading but enjoyable due to very good audio quality.

0220z: Started coming through with jazzy guitar
0226z: WEAK Radio ID, OM voice w/ echo fx
0229z: Les Paul "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", very good signal peaks now.
0235z: DJ Knobtwister ID w/ reverb fx
0236z: Sam Cooke?  Sounds like "Somebody Ease My Troublin' Mind", faded to barely audible.
0243z: Sounds like some version of Frankie and Johnny?
0253z: "Mr. Sandman", sounds like Mary Ford & Les Paul version.
0254z: WEAK ID
0255z: "Tennessee Waltz"
0301z: WEAK ID
0302z: "Vaya Con Dios"

Received eQSL shortly after broadcast, and reminder of that Allman Brothers song played by the Les Paul Trio: "Jessica".  Thanks, excellent show!
