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.
