1730z S2-S5 in New Hampshire,  but low noise levels means pretty good copy
1734z Earth, Wind and Fire - Shining Star
1737z David Bowie - Rebel Rebel
1741z Gladys Knight - I'll Take You There
1744z The Pipkins - Gimme Dat Ding
1747z Elton John - signal dropped down to far to ID
1751z The Ides of March - Vehicle
1754z These Eyes - The Guess Who
1757z Jimmy Cliff - I Can See Clearly Now

So far no Shazam-ing required, though I did have to Google "Gimme Dat Ding" to see who did the tune.

1800z Signal has dropped way down into the noise, too weak to copy now.  Thanks for the show...

2349z Yeah Man Radio ID into nice piano/sax jazz tune
2355z Signal took a big dive down into the noise, almost gone now...

2233z Fair-to-poor copy in New Hampshire, S3-S5 and down in the noise most of the time.  Not strong enough to copy what the op is saying.  QRM on USB side so listening on LSB.
