2227 UTC Hawaiian music (S5 peaks with fades and noise and peskie QRM)
2230 UTC More Hawaiian pedal steel guitar music (This one is more upbeat!)
2232 UTC YL and OM....possibly intro to the next song?...unid kinda folk song with chorus of singers
2236 UTC I hear the voice of Johnny Tobacco! A clear ID as Radio Abu Dhabi! Then "There's a Tear In My Beer"
2240 UTC JT talking now but too much storm static for good copy
2258 UTC "Home of the Blues"-Johnny Cash
(Lots of storm noise and fading here....some nice S7 peaks though!)
2300 UTC "Never Do A Tango With an Eskimo"-Alma Cogan
2302 UTC "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien"-Edith Pilaf

Great to hear you again JT! It's been a long time!

Hearing the Hawaiian music at 2230 UTC tune-in.  S7-S8 in NY.  Announcement at 2232 that I couldn't copy.  2232 Hawaiian music with vocals.  2235 Quick announcement, then Hank Williams "There's a Tear in my Beer".
OK, ID at 2236, it' Radio Abu Dhabi.

Funny, to hear classic country and western music, we have to tune to Dutch pirates!  I'm enjoying the music, Johnny Tobacco.

Thanks for the greetings at 2246 UTC.  We have very bad storms and static crashes here, so it is making reception difficult.
