Ruby Slippers Good Friday Tribute to the Hammer March 25 7-8 pm


Hey everybody!

Sorry for posting so late ( for those who like to check out the list early and all) but it has been a busy week with the cohost. Lots of back and forth with music and anecdotes and stuff. I think it will be all worth the hours of effort, though. 

Here goes.

Mrs. Evelyn Dick ... Forgotten Rebels * (look this notorious femme up on the web!)
How Could You Mrs. Dick? ... Greg Clarke * (new)
Too True Mama ... Crowbar * (live)
Rocky Mountain Tragedy ... Crowbar *
Susan's Song ... John Gibbard *
Achin' Head ... King Biscuit Boy *
Science Fiction Double Feature ... Forgotten Rebels* (cover from Rocky Horror Picture Show)
Get My Thrills ... Simply Saucer *
Kissin the Carpet ... Teenage Head *
Weight of The World ... Dave Rave *
Lost and Found ... Greg Clarke *
No Glamour In The Hammer ... Whitehorse *

Really REALLY needed two hours this week.

Thanks for listening and wishing you a wonderful long weekend.
