Playlist for January 12, 2010 from 12:00AM - 3:00AM

Current New Orleans Time: Fri, 7:55am

Playlist Date & Time: 1/12/2010 12:00AM - 3:00AM

Program: Contemporary Jazz with Mockingbird

Don't forget to come on over when I guest-host Miz PeggyLou's "Awake and Willing" show, next Saturday night (16 January 2010), right before the amazing Jamie Dell'Apa's midnight outing.

Maybe my skull will have drained itself of its gooey nastiness by then. ...I really really hope so, anyway.

Thanks for hangin with me through coughing fits and growly vocals. That's why I adore y'baby.
