[Heeplist] Heeplist] Heeplist] UH singers

Wed Aug 6 13:08:55 EDT 2014

I haven't seriously listened to radio since I was in my twenties.

I used to love *'Midnight Album*' hour, the King Biscuit live concert
program, and even the old Dr. Demento Show.

Radio has become too formatted nowadays, and it (Radio) just plain
sucks *'Swamp
Gas'* now.
