I think this was a great show, with a wide variety of tracks played and more in number than usual (nearly 30). A interesting feature was some of the interesting titles e.g. "Zombies love dancin' to this number" and "You are a protocol droid, are you not?" I also loved the crazed version of Heart's "Barracuda" from the new Bad Plus with Wendy Lewis CD.

This was my first show back after two week's absensce. Philip Barker, the Morning Joy host on CJSW, ably filled in for me twice. I am in his debt.
