Sonic Overload 4/9/12

Another week of avoiding the political content. I also know there are a ton of “oldies,” especially in the last hour but all of the decades from the ‘70s until now are represented. That’s just the way it happens. When I put the show together, I already have a number of songs pulled but there are also those “spontaneous” selections. Something catches my eye on the shelf, a song pops into my head... there’s no one particular way of selecting material. One thing I can’t do is record the show on the fly, with no preparation. Trust me on that one—it takes a lot of work to make this show flow well, even with the preparation.
