Friends, it's Sunday night again and time to relax. Warm up the tubes for another 4 hours of classic radio Americana.
*tonight's show will be available at the "Info" link starting tomorrow.
Lots of football this weekend. Gina, sorry about the Saints.
A decent lineup tonight. Fibber McGee & Molly is disappointing but the 10pm hour has solid detective shows.
How's everyone?
We finally have schedules posted, and it's a decent lineup tonight. We have a couple of title mismatches with The Lone Ranger and Philip Marlowe.

Hi, Vision! Yes, that was a painful game yesterday! I didn’t have my hopes too high, but it was still a bummer when they lost to Seattle.
All’s well here. We’re very glad that bitter cold has moved on. How’s it going with you?
How did yesterday go for you? It was like God was against the Saints. Just awful.
Due to the rain I braised chicken yesterday and it was pretty good.
That was definitely a whole-team loss yesterday. It wasn’t on any one guy, from the kicker, to Drew Brees to Ingraham’s fumble for a score and the other dropped passes, lots of them helped bring on the loss.
We have the Denver-San Diego game on now. We heard that SF game earlier. You’re right about SF.
I know you’re darned glad that terrible cold has moved on! I’m baking more of my giant chocolate chip cookies to give to more people who didn’t get any of the first Christmas batches. Keith just took some chicken out of the freezer and put it in some brine to thaw. Guess it’ll go on the grill.
After watching these four games I'll say it's a Broncos vs Seahawks Superbowl with the Seahawks winning.
I’ll be rooting for Denver. :-)
William Conrad on JD...
Excellent!
A pitcher of scotch and soda...
Interesting.
A sturdy pitcher!
Love the Andrew Sisters. They were/are America.
I loved that song. The Andrews were great, indeed!
Matt CAN’T quit! :-)
Meh. I’m starting to not buy this storyline. They had me until Matt resisted stopping the killing of the woman/bartender.
