I tried listing to the program this evening, but found it impossible. If I were interested in was is on your damn blog, I would read it. On the radio, why can't you talk a whole lot less about the blog and play more music?

OK, I take it back. A wee bit Scottish after all.
I'm loving this music tonight. I have to say that it certainly doesn't sound typically Scottish. Or even the least little bit. Are these all Scottish performers?
What's that song that was just played?
What's this playing right now? It's terrific.
