Excellent reception (also, hearing on 6580 - reception not as good.)  No listing on their schedule for this program.  I thought it might be a simulcast of their FM Country Station at first.

2005z OM singing unid song, sounded like small live audience on recording
2010z Harder unid rock song
2014z Third unid song...no introduction in between songs, rough breaks/silence between music.
2020z YL "You have been listening to French Dog Radio (?)"  ID's previous songs.
2033z Unid song - YL sounds similar to Joni Mitchell
2036z Ukulele song "The Way it goes" Gillian Welch
2041z YL with program ID and song id's.  
2100z WBCQ, then French Dog Radio ID

Thanks for great music.  If you take requests - Punk Rock Girl by Dead Milkmen

Could this be a relay of a pirate?

It's probably just one of their leased air time shows, like Radio Tim Tron and Marion's Attic but not to sure.
