That Good Ship and True
Even the youngest consumers of this pondwater must know the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald, which sank in Lake Superior 50 years ago today. The ship was, at her launch in 1958, the largest man-made object ever put into fresh water. When my family saw the Fitzgerald passing through the locks at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, in 1974 or 1975, she was surely the biggest thing I'd ever seen, and I never forgot her---or the sight of a few crewmen high above us at her rail, some or all of whom may have gone to the bottom with her.

Jess is correct.
The following songs are not Christmas songs:
"Holiday Road"
"Hallelujah"
"My Favorite Things"
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

If this somehow makes American pancakes available in the U.K. then I’m all for it. And yes, I’ve been to the one Denny’s location in Wales! 🥞
Denny's, the struggling 72-year-old diner chain, is selling itself to a group of investors who are taking the business private. https://cnn.it/47m1pKi

You continue to do amazing work. This is fantastic. Thank you!
The Very Late Early 60s Halloween mix is up now at Patreon. I did consider putting it up on Mixcloud but this would be a very much sub-optimal time to do that - so I'm just calling it a Patreon exclusive, and the proper launch can be next Halloween.

I’ve been here almost a year, have fewer than 1/50th the amount of subscribers but still don’t regret the switch. Welcome, sir!
Well, I finally,belatedly, left X. Musk’s fascism and his meddling in UK politics is beyond the pale. Twitter was light and fun. X is dark and dangerous. Might give Insta a go as well as here.

A 186-year-old Greenwich Village townhouse has been home to celebrities like John Philip Sousa and Kylie Jenner. Now prosecutors allege that the house was being used to stage illegal poker games controlled by the Gambino crime family.

So, @rossonradio.com, I'm sure you've ruled on this before but I believe the Ghostbusters theme is a year-round hit, like Thriller. Neither the song nor the movie are Halloween-based. But I feel like most radio stations disagree, so what say you?

It’s great to re-visit the original of what has become a rock and roll classic. (Pearl Jam, The Sonics, The Who, Motörhead, etc.)
It took me about 15 months to type the history of the R&B charts into a spreadsheet so that I could organize by the date the song entered the charts.

I enjoyed the movie well enough but what I really noticed was how great it was to hear music that’s not just an mp3 on my phone. I might start breaking out my CDs again once in a while for a richer experience.
It's peak Taylormania at L.A. movie theaters for 'The Life of a Showgirl' release party
