Our annual Paul McCartney special (falling on his actual 67th birthday) operates discreetly in the confines of our blues marathon. Yeah, Sir Paul has done some bluesy things - so we throw in a bunch along with the other Macca melodic classics and unreleased tidbits. A good time is had no less with lots of requests, a nod to Mr. Edison's 51st birthday but sadly no Susan DeVita to speak of (poor girl - couldn't make it).

The show opens with 37 minutes of songs relying heavily on "A" chords. Then, a small Anthony Braxton birthday celebration ensues followed by various songs from some new comers. Meanwhile,a bunch of frustration is continually revealed as CD player 1 refuses to play automatically and my ipod decides to stop playing for no good reason. Laura Tabacco drops by and gives me friendly advice about getting one's blood pressure checked.

Interview with multi talented musician Chris Pati.

Medical scenarios, new internet music from listeners, some oldies and my sister Laura drops by and tells us the many wonderful things you can do with vinegar.

This week I had no idea what to play and so it's a hodgepodge that for some reason had listeners calling in to pledge money. Some new material from Ms. DeVita and lots of old stuff no one ever plays anymore.

Talking about men with hats, matzoh ball soup, inflatable drums, politics and what's new with Susan DeVita who co-hosted this edition of Clam Radio. Finally!

Various music in odd time signatures. Things that sound influenced by Zappa and the occasional forgotten old song plus a few new ones by local artists.

Neatly edited music and a live interview with Marci Geller regarding Lucky 13.

Anthony Pomes and Paul Michael Barkan drop by to wish me a happy birthday and promote Mostly Moptop and other things. Some new music is played by yours truly and lots of ranting and raving over the evils of facebook.

This particular program features a live interview with author, guitarist, singer songwriter Debra DeSalvo. She performs a few songs live on acoustic guitar, discusses her new pop/rock group Devi and also her book "Language of the Blues". Also, a new song by Susan DeVita and JT is premiered called "Kind Of Relief".

Suppose to have a guest but - no show. Instead we plug the Ed Palermo show at 5 Towns College 2/6/09 and play various new songs and some esoteric JT things and tell a seemingly pointless story about Andrew Gold, Wayne Fontana, Billy J Kramer, James Sereda and the late Clint Ballard jr

Birthday tribute to Captain Beefheart

Some music from 2008 and an interview with Heartworks Int. founders Howard and Linda Beckerman
