0059 piano interval
0100 Ball Smacker ID into song, copy rather rough here
0102 a bit better, "Glory Days" Bruce Springsteen
0118 it's been rough again, weak signal not helped by static crashing, but I do hear "Boys of Summer" by that one guy who used to be in the Eagles.
0150 "Unforgettable" Natalie Cole with Nat King Cole

Hi Ballsmacker Radio, you're coming into Alabama with a S9+10 signal sounding good over local storm static. Thanks for the show.

Conditions are getting better and the signal has gotten steadily stronger.

Memories sounded great along with Night Moves by Bob Seeger. Good playlist tonight.

138- Music under the noise, but hard to make out. I can't usually hear BSR from my QTH, so happy to finally pick up a trace of him!
139- Can ID song as Bob Seger. Guitar chords sound like Against The Wind.

SINPO=13121

Bob Seeger at 0135 with Night Moves into Against The Wind.
Fair signal but local storms hampering copy.
0144. Moody Blues -  Your Wildest Dreams
0149  Natalie and Nat King Cole - Unforgetable
0153 Elton John - Crocodile  Rock
0157 Neil Diamond - September Morn
0201 Paul Davis - '65 Love Affair
0205 Bryan Adams - Summer of '69
Songs by Phil Collins and Sarah McLaughlin  but losing signal in static at 0218.
Thanks for the show, Blue Smacker Radio. (Guessing the theme dealt with "Memories.")
