Remember when Marianne Faithfull performed at Club Dada?

  YIKES!!! No I dont. I prolly didnt know about her then. I only really got introduced to her after I started doing this show, like so much of the music that I love now, I got introduced by a suggestion from a listener!

Something from one of Larry “Rhino” Reinhardt bands – Captian Beyond or Iron Butterfly
- Anonymous
  
  Captain Beyond! I have played that before, got any Iron Butterfly song suggestions?
  - Ray Worth
    
    Hmmm, I haven’t listened to Iron Butterfly in years so I checked out their best of album on Amazon. They sound really really dated now. Real Fright is about the best I could find. As far as Captian Beyond – Sufficiently Breathless or Dancing Madly Backwards.
  - Ray Worth
    
    Actually in hindsight, neither of those suggestions were any good. How about Snooks Eaglin.

  I though everyone had a copy of ‘Blow By Blow, and I had ‘Truth/Beckola’ when they released them together as a package. There was some pretty raw Rod Stewart in there. He has a song with Kelly Clarkson called, ‘Up On The Mountatin’.

Paul, this is the best packing-for-buisness-trip music I’ve heard in a long time. Great mix! (Although you threw me for a loop with Madonna.) Keep up the great job! I appreciate you!

  Thanks , have a great trip. Madonna, throwing people for a loop for the last 50 years.
