Was strong in GA, could not stick around to listen unfortunately. Signal was topping S9 here.

Noted here with Guitar singing story teller, mentions of a person named "Jack Johnson" Singer sounded a bit like Arlo "Alice's Restaurant" Guthrie on speed. I think it was the HMS Titanic, not the USS... just sayin'

She was actually RMS Titanic (Royal Mail Ship)

... mentions of a person named "Jack Johnson" ...
Probably a reference to boxer Jack Johnson, who was the world heavyweight champ in 1912, the year the Titanic sank. Johnson was newsworthy for several reasons that year, including a bizarre law passed by the US Congress banning interstate distribution of movies about prizefighting - presumably to impede distribution of a documentary film about Johnson's 1910 defeat of former champ James Jeffries.
Sorry I wasn't able to catch this broadcast - propagation didn't favor Gopher Stomp. I'm hoping Sealord or Chis snagged a recording. ;)
