"That Old Man River
He keeps rollin' along"


* This Transmission was produced Sunday AM at midnight with the lights down, candles lit and the LPs sprawled across the Archive floor.  I'm in awe of the creators of these timeless classics and the musicians that continue to interpret them using their own ears and love for the songs. Your company made it even more special.


*Tuneful inspiration and enjoyment are derived weekly from Sandman Standards hosted by the multi-talented and well-groomed Tom Sandman on WMKV FM Thursdays - 8 to 10 pm which re-airs Saturdays from 5 to 7 pm. Check out a master playing the masters at www.wmkvfm.org

The tic toc of the universal clock
To the bang bang boogie of the love streaming through me
And the smoke that wait while we procreate"

*Occasionally when producing a show, it becomes apparent that it deserves 
the Donna Kossy digital collage icing on the cake.
Eye and Eye thought this was such a case.
