Dr. John's Record Shelf

You'll notice a new heading in the column at left titled "Dr. John's Record Shelf." That's the title of the radio show I do every Sunday evening from 5 to 7 on KDWG, 90.9 fm (the University of Montana Western station). If you are in SE Montana, you might be able to pick it up, as our signal only really extends through the Beaverhead River Valley. But for those too far away to listen in, I thought I would post weekly listings of the highlights from my playlist. I generally try to mix genres and eras, to focus on material that doesn't often get heard on the radio. If I figure out how to embed audio clips, I may insert some other material from the show (not the songs, since I don't want to have to pay the licensing fees) such as our weekly Top Five Lists, editions of Record Shelf Theater (where my co-host Art Vandelay and I try to out-ham each other in a scene from a classic movie, play or TV show), or The Cultural Corner (where we pontificate on art, literature, etc.). Doing the show is about the most fun I have every week (at least as a regular thing), so I hope to spread a little of that around here as well. If you want to request a song, feel free to do so in the comments.
