Lot of dreamy music here to love, Mike, including Lovin' Spoonful. Scrolled down twice looking for Roy doing "In Dreams". No problem though, I listen to it regularly. Great playlist and theme, as always !!

Bobby Calzone
Wheres Loudon Wainwright??? My favorite "dream" song of all time!

Thanks Neil and Bobby. As with almost every theme, there are many more songs than minutes in the show. If I ever revisit this theme, perhaps those songs will be included. BTW, Booby, Loudon's first wife was a close friend of mine so I've known him since 1972. We had a nice visit a few years ago in Florida.

Hey, Bobby. I just noticed a typo in my note from 2:30 pm. Sorry about that.

I would not trade off a single song on this playlist, es;pecially any song, rendition, cover I have never heard. New music comes first for me every time ! I had forgotten that Dylan song it's been so long since I have listened to that album. I love and appreciate Dylan so much more at this stage of my life. He is like a very, very good wine; he just gets better and deeper with age.

You always have great taste in music, Bobby !! I often go online to check out songs you refer to from your "faves list" from days gone by.

Thanks again, Neil.

Well, then, note to Neil - and everyone - after my Kundalini awakening (yes, its real!), i was searching for Roy Orbison In Dreams, the Blue Velvet Dennis Hopper version, and while boobling it, fell upon this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OfMusIO_Jfk&pp=0gcJCdgAo7VqN5tD This is probably the most important pièce of music and art i have ever lived, saves me everyday, and most people who i share it with agree ! It IS what i lived! What i live! What i will live! Absolutely incredible! Sorry, Mike for the blabber, hope this does not however take away from great music you play! Hoping it saves omeone else today...

NIce wordcraft on Moore & MGregpr. Very lovely piece of songwriting; made my ears wiggle.

It's a great song, Neil. The songwriting credit belongs specifically to Arthur McGregor.

Neil, Iistening to The Lovin' Spponful's Daydream album a few weeks ago gave me the idea for this theme.

4:44 PM, June 10th, 2025
Neil & DL
Wow.......I can easily see that bridge in thought. That is how my mind works too, my friend. Probably why I took to your show immediately the first show I listened to. I have never looked back, buddy!!
