Tough signal but getting through.
Can hear male singing @0043 but can clearly ID tune.
Long time since I've heard the Captain.
Blues music -0050?
"You Set Me Free" sung by Snooky Pryor -0055 into Bblow, Wind Blow" by Jimmy Rodgers All-Stars.

I could tell there was someone in there but that was about it. Usually I get a nice signal from the Cap'n.
