"Just Playing Some Music"

0130 On with Marvin Gaye - "What's Going On", "Inner City Blues"
0139 ROR ID
0140 Stones - "Sweet Virginia"
0149 IDs, shouts (thanks!), The Band - "Cripple Creek", "Life is a Carnival", Beatles - "Get Back"
0201 Legacy Chiquita Banana commercial, "I Dig a Pony"
0206 StarKist Tuna commercial, Dylan - "Maggie's Farm", "Queen Jane Approximately"
0217 IDs, closing ann, and off at 0218z

About an S7.  Maybe it's just my imagination, but it sounds like the audio has a little more bottom tonight.  
Really sounding good on peaks.

Thanks for the show, ROR!

This is really faint in the S5 noise floor here. I can tell its music though.
Voice IDs & speech are unintelligible.
--- ROR is really making me work tonight!  ;^) ---

0135, tune
0140, tune
0146, --signal improving slightly--
0155, --great, now getting "whooshing" noise on the band!  :^/
0155, grr, I know this song, but too faint to ID!
0159, YAY! An ID! - Beatles - Get Back
0202, tune
0212, several Bob Dylan tunes, his drone comes right through!  :^)
0218, unintelligible DJ gab, and... That's it!

=== Thanks anyway ROR! ===
