Hey, John ~
Listening to that Santo and Johnny version of,
I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU, I had a faint impression of Brian Wilson's PET SOUNDS...
& my musical response to, I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU, would be, LET'S GO AWAY FOR A WHILE.
Looking forward to listening again to this program in the archives.
Best regards, Vic

Phil Kline:

Please, I need a copy of that. It is the best musical description of PTSD headiness I ever heard.

And I need access.

You have my email, John, so please...

Please.
