November 1, 2025 Playlist – Lisa Scherma

On this edition of the program, we celebrated James Brown’s birthday, bid farewell to Mike Peters of The Alarm and Jill Sobule, reviewed the new inductees to the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, and learned that a keystroke error in the chat room that we thought was caused during the preparation of pierogi was actually caused by the family cat named Pierogi.

One week after the unofficial start of summer, we offered up a selection of music that sounds like it was made for enjoying with beer, barbecue and backyards. We also remembered the recently departed Rick Derringer and gave some well-deserved airtime to local artists you need to know. Click here to listen to the restream. (Please excuse the microphone issues we had in the first hour – it’s the music that matters most – and it came through loud and clear.)
