Blogpost #27

Welcome back, loyal listeners. For you newcomers, here's a look at what's coming up soon on A Time To Remember.

September 20: A birthday salute to Ray Charles (born September 23, 1930). A rare concert taped on September 22, 1963 for Brazilian TV. Listen for "Hit The Road Jack", "What'd I Say", "You Don't Know Me" and a dozen other favorites from Ray, his orchestra, and the Raelettes. Bonus track: Ray sings a duet with his biggest fan, Flip Wilson on a February 1, 1973 broadcast of TV's "Flip Wilson Show".

September 27: A birthday salute to Groucho Marx (born October 2, 1890). A rare unedited full-length recording session for the "You Bet Your Life" quiz show from December 5, 1949. Listen for technical errors, retakes, and lots of risque wisecracks from Groucho that never made it past the censor.

October 4: A birthday salute to John Lennon (born October 9, 1940). An historic and poignant interview taped December 8, 1980, just hours before his death. Listen for John's tragically ironic comment: "My work won't be finished until I am dead and buried - and I hope that's a long, long time".

If you have suggestions for future birthday salutes or anniversary tributes, send them to johnbialas@yahoo.com. Thanks for listening. See you again next month!
