Pink Floyd at 0103.  From Dark Side of the Moon.
Signal fair but managing to cut through the static.
Do I detect a theme?  A number of songs concerning breath in the title.
One Last Breath - Creed
Breathe - Faith Hill
Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull
Something About the Way You Look Tonight - Elton John
Station pretty much lost in noise floor by 0152.
Thanks for the show.

0118 tuning in late but better late than never. Good signal here in Colorado. Looks like breathing is the topic du jour. (Here's hoping the set includes "Breathe" by Ministry, arguable that band's best song.)

Tuned in at 0139utc, fair/poor signal with some fading, hear male singing "the way you look tonight", at 0141 sound of bowling ball hitting pins followed by woman giving ID, deep fade after that, came back with nice soft pop tune, said to email to [email protected] . I emailed to that address. Off at exactly 0216½ after several minutes of piano music. Nice program, thanks.

0120  "All I need is the air that I breathe," "Most Friday nights at 6:00 it's Ballsmacker Radio."  Bowling pins falling sfx, into program of oldies.

S8 here with good audio.

Thanks Ballsmacker.
