John had no guest scheduled for this week's show, so he asked me if I wanted to supply music for both hours. It seemed like a good idea to me, so I said yes. I asked him if there was anything in particular he wanted as a theme. His response was to do an hour of cover songs and an hour of whatever I felt like playing. I could definitely handle that!
In typical Independents Uncovered fashion, the show almost didn't happen. John got to the campus and the building was locked because of the holiday. If he couldn't get to the station, there would be no show. Fortunately, he made it in, but had many technical problems once the show started. He wasn't able to play the Shane Cooley music he wanted to play.
The problems didn't end when it was my turn. It took several calls from me and a few problems with the board before I actually got on the air. But once I did, it seemed to go well, for a change. John played the Donohue theme twice, playing it at the beginning of the show and then again between the covers and the rest. Here's the listing of what we played:
1st Hour - The Covers:
The Posies - King Midas In Reverse (Hollies Cover)

There will be no show next week. George Mason basketball will be taking over the airwaves next Monday for their game against Delaware. We'll be back on January 31st, with what is looking to be a good show!
John's interview will be with The Grip Weeds. They were scheduled for a live interview last year, but had to be postponed when John's car broke down. Now they are finally back! I will be playing Grip Weeds and Grip Weeds related music for part of my show.
The rest of the show will be a special treat for my friend Al Knight. January 31st is his birthday, so I will be dedicating the first half of my show to Al. I'll definitely be playing some Robin Trower, since our mutual Trower appreciation is basically how we met. I've also got some of Al's music and maybe a surprise or two. See you on the 31st!
