mx and no ID so far at 0200
0200: "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" - CSN

0207: "All I Want to Do" - Byrds
0209: ID, YL: "check out our new website at BallSmacker.net" -> "Dark Star" - CSN
SAM and narrow BW definitely cleans up signal

S-10 plus on a TN. SDR. "Marrakesh Express". Why all of these songs have David Crosby in common! Send me my Moroccan Hash.

BTW, I never knew CSN covered the Grateful Dead's "Dark Star"? Was Neilo around by then to give them the guitar chops? Headin' down band to see how you're doing down there.

Nope. You're doing much better on 6960.

How about playing "8 Miles High"? It's about the Byrds first tour of Europe and flying to Amsterdam. They were 8 miles up on the trip over the Pole going to Europe, not what everyone thought and they inferred.

Thanks for "8 Miles High" and the Byrds tune that followed it up. I always liked the Byrds better than the combos Dave played with later. The Byrds could rock when they wanted to.
