10/26/25 ..... 17th Anniversary Show ...... "A Ghost of a Chance"
Playing off that phrase, this program will play an album of a band that had little chance of success due to various circumstances. In this case the band & album featured today had both the double whammy of a record label on its demise and also the waning of the listening audience to those particular stylings of music. The UK band that we are listening to ...... is Arnold (named after a band member's dog) and the album is "Hillside Album" the tracks are: 1) Fleas Don't Fly, 2) Ira Jones Goes to the Country, 3) Hillside, 4) Fishsounds, 5) Country Biscuit, 6) Winsor Park, 7) Curio, 8) Rabbit, 9) Goodbye Grey, 10) Face, 11) Rubber Duck, 12) Mickey's Mother, 13) Moroccan Roll, 14) Catherine Day. Listeners thanks for your time and checking out this program, hope you enjoyed the new anninversay concept. Everyone stay well and talk to you in December. All the best!
