0142 UTC Unid music and possibly an OM at 0143? Followed by "Echelon"-30 Seconds to Mars
0150 UTC "Cigarettes"-Tash Sultana
0154 UTC OM said something again (but missed it), into "I Get Off"-Halestorm
0157 UTC OM then "Desire"-Meg Myers
0202 UTC OM with ID...maybe W-something? Followed by a song shazam says was "Feel It Still"-Portugal. The Man
0208 UT OM again into another unid song
0212 UTC OM, into "Push"-Matchbox Twenty
0216 UTC OM again (but the voice is too low to catch the ID), into "Barrel of a Gun"-Depeche Mode
0221 UTC OM then "Everything You Want"-Vertical Horizon
0228 UTC Signal is deep in the noise now....nada on copy for the songs

Listening back on the recording, the ID by synth voiced OM sounds like WHD or maybe WUHD......really hard to tell!

Only the op knows for sure! Please help us out on this one!

Huh? / Ray Sawyer of Dr Hook & the Medicine Show RIP

« on: January 04, 2019, 0034 UTC »

Ray Sawyer, the Dr Hook & The Medicine Show member who sang the 1973 Shel Silverstein-penned hit “The Cover of ‘Rolling Stone,’” has died in Florida on December 31, 2018. Sawyer retired in 2015 and died after a short illness. He was 81. The Alabama-born Sawyer – who founded the group with Dennis Locorriere, Billy Francis and George Cummings – was a member of Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show from 1969 to 1981. A few years before the band’s formation, Sawyer lost his right eye in a car accident; Sawyer wore an eyepatch that made him resemble the Peter Pan villain Captain Hook, which served as the inspiration for the Dr Hook moniker. In 1970, Dr Hook & The Medicine Show’s demo tapes wound up in the hands of author and songwriter Shel Silverstein, who recruited the band to become a vessel for his music: The group would turn Silverstein-written tracks like “Sylvia’s Mother” and “The Cover of ‘Rolling Stone’” into hits and released two albums of Silverstein-penned songs, 1971’s Dr Hook and 1972’s Sloppy Seconds
