0024 At the noise floor here.
0029 just enough to Shazam "Like the Moon Above You" by Kitty Kallen.
...
0039 "The Very Thought of You" Billie Holliday
0042 "Moonlight Serenade" Glenn Miller
0046 "I Hear a Rhapsody" Helen Forrest
0049 "I Only Have Eyes For You" I recognized the tune without trouble but Shazam came up with "Various" as the artist. No Shazam. Bad Shazam.
0051 "I Wanna Be Loved By You" Helen Kane
    signal is getting better, I'm able to hear more music, sometimes very well for a few seconds at a time.
0054 OM speaking
0056 "How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You" Jane Powell
0059 Shazam isn't able to help me with this one
0102 "Let's Dance" the almighty Benny Goodman
0104 OM Radio Casablanca ID (first time I've been able to hear it clearly) with email for QSL's, into soundclip from film.
0106 "Tu Es Partout" Edith Piaf
0108 "No Other Love" Jo Stafford
0112 "Fools Rush In" The chairman of the board
0114 Casablanca station ID with email address
0115 clip from movie into "Night and Day" Ella Fitzgerald
0119 "How High the Moon" Benny Goodman
0122 "Dancing Cheek to Cheek" Fred Astaire?
     signal deteriorating now
0125 "It's Only a Paper Moon"-Betty Grable
0127 Radio Casablanca ID, movie clip
0128 I don't know this song and neither does Shazam
0130 YL and OM speaking (another movie clip?)
0131 "Comes Love" Judy Garland
0134 Unshazamable song, big band music with clarinet lead (apparantly Wang Wang Blues by Benny Goodman, h/t to Skipmuck)
0137 Radio Casablanca ID, email addy, movie clip
0138 "Blue Champagne" Bob Eberly (Or more likely Jimmy Dorsey, I'll trust Skipmuck here too)
0141 "If I Didn't Care" The Ink Spots
0144 "I'll Be Seeing You" Billie Holliday
0147 Station ID, email, and OFF

Thanks for the show! It's quite noisy here, doubtless because the sun is still up here, but I'm trying.
