Good but somewhat noisy reception with fading directly out here near Seattle ...
0227 UTC: "Hungry Freaks, Daddy" by Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention.
0229 UTC: "Zorba the Greek" by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass. (Sorry, Tony, for accidentally pre-empting your post!)
0233 UTC: "Feelings" cover; Shazam's not identifying the male singer, though.
0238 UTC: "Smokescreen" by Ted Nugent.
0242 UTC: "Turn to Stone" by Joe Walsh.
0251 UTC: "Que seas tú (Seul sur son etoilé)" by Gilbert Bécaud. The signal's strong enough the audio's now very listenable from across my room most of the time.
0254 UTC: "Mule Train" by Tennessee Ernie Ford.
0257 UTC: "Overpowered by Funk" by The Clash (THANKS FOR PLAYING A SONG BY MY FAVORITE BAND! For those who don't know, this song appeared on side 2 of the "Combat Rock" album.)
0302 UTC: "When Tomorrow Comes" by Eurythmics (another band I really like!).
0306 UTC: "Be My Love" by Mario Lanza & Ray Sinatra. Alas, I'm off to eat my dinner (yes, we eat late).
Thanks for the music and the nice West Coast signal tonight! Thanks, TrueNorthSWL, for the ID help.

You beat me to it ... posted this in a separate post -- deleted it to repost here:
Just started up in the past few minutes with a really strong almost perfect signal here in Hope BC.
Heard a ballad about Ireland followed by a rock tune .... hmmm
This kinda stuff is why I love 43 metres!

Wow, now that's a barn blaster signal into Masset at 02:45 tune-in. Frequency is actually 6934.975 with a full 10 kHz wide bandwidth. Very nice audio. Joe Walsh with Turn to Stone at 02:47

Hella good for 6mhz before sunset here. Good and solid with some deep but quick fades. SINPO 45344 to 54444. 0250UTC in west central Alaska.

To the operator, if you read this I’d love an EQSL to the address in my bio. Note if uou don’t QSL that’s fine, I simply enjoyed hearing a pirate… not many make it up to McGrath Alaska
Signal is now holding pretty steady at 54444. It’s gotten a bit strong and less fadey in the last 15 mins
