Episode 10

     More than ever, I really want to hear whether what I played this morning was anywhere near what I intended. What it was, I’m not sure. In the end, it might have been inspired. The CD-Rs will tell....
     Why I am so concerned about this morning’s show?
     Well, Monday night, time got away from me as I sat in front of the stereo, trying out a few more things for the show—with the result that I found myself madly dashing out the door to make it to the station on time. I did make it ... but without my skeletal playlist and without six CDs I wanted to play. Sadly, none of those discs were in the station’s library, so I had to improvise. Thus, my normally well-thought out show gave way to something different. Better?
     (For reasons I am not at liberty to disclose, my show was 45 minutes longer this morning. That is why, if you were wondering, there’s a nearly complete fourth hour below. Oh, yeah, one more thing: I know what the songs I missed were. Expect them to figure prominently in the next show.)
