Tuned in at 2242 UTC to hear "Play That Funky Music" by Wild Cherry. Listening via the Burke, Va., SDR right now in AM mode, though I have a trace of the carrier on my own receiver in USB mode out here near Seattle.

2244 UTC: "Jumpin' Jack Flash" by the Rolling Stones (sounds great!)
2248 UTC: "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll ..." by the Stones, then cut off and into "Let's Dance" by Bowie
2250 UTC: Bowie gets cut off for a bit of "The Twilight Zone" theme, a bit of "Start Me Up," then "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder and then "Let it Ride" by BTO.
2252 UTC: Captain keeps jumping around with the songs! A bit more of "The Twilight Zone" theme, then "Never Been to Spain" by Three Dog Night.
2254 UTC: More song jumping between Stevie Wonder, BTO, Steppenwolf, the Rolling Stones, etc.
2258 UTC: Paul Simon song ... losing the signal now to the noise.

Skippy - it's "Put the Lime in the Coconut".  Lime & the Coconut is a warm beer joint in Liverpool  ;D. Speaking of the UK, what does the Queen and Mookie Betts have in common?  Tea/Tee time at 2.

Hah! I was typing details on the fly here and might have made an error or two in my haste! Knowing all those songs without resorting to Shazam shows that I'm at the age where one forgets things...... :)
As to the Yankees this year? I only have one word for that......"HOUSTON"!
(Perhaps the Yankees are in the market for a couple of high priced used pitchers? Name that price!....anyways, I spelled Nilsson right I think!)
