2346 UTC JS says "Engineer says thats a rap song"
2347 UTC JS says "problem with feedback" (nothing heard here!) live time check, ID, email...into Chatanooga Choo Choo-Glenn Miller
2349 UTC JS says they "play a lot of Glenn Miller because they have a lot of Glenn Miller" and "signed on with the Star Spangled Banner", then live TC and ID

2359 UTC ID'd song, trouble with the turntable, shoutouts to HFU posters (Thanks from Shipmonk JS!)

Just kicking back and relaxing until you put on the "Talk Me To Sleep" song....I had to get off my chair and shake the moon dust out of my head ;D
Thanks for another entertaining show tonight JS... :-[ although I did sneak away and tune down to 6930 KHZ to hear the station playing songs almost 100 years older than the ones you were playing! {Somedays it's  fresh white bread, sometimes it's plain old hard tack!}

Tuned in around 0044 UTC and heard some great big band music.  At 0046 a live time check and ID by Jimmy Stewart.  Mentions of the HF Underground.  At 0056 another live time check and mention they would be closing down, and the last song would be from the Mills Brothers.  Off at 0101 UTC.  S7 signal in NY.
