David

Hope the show goes well tonight. Can you use your powers of persuasion to get Johnny to do one of those podcasts so that us Europeans can get to hear it too

[RossHolloway]

Excellent! Diana Ross has been my favorite artist for over 30 years!! Can't wait to listen in tonight. I hope to hear the songs What You Gave Me and You Were The One, both such over looked classics!

[dba]

Ross Holloway since i did the playlists I can tell you hat the two songs you asked for are not on the list. You Were The One was on my show two years ago.

However there will be lots of goodies and lots of over looked classics. Thanks for your interest.

I will see what I can do to get MJ to pod cast.

It's a wonderful thing to have dba do his almost yearly "Listener's Choice" Diana Ross tribute...and even though her birthday tribute is a bit belated...better late than never! Now David....no need in giving up all the goodies that people will hear during this remarkable overview of Ross' incredible career....we DO want some surprises...eh? David...thanks for your hard and great work! BTW...David will be joining us during the show at some point....remote from the beach or the big city! Join us! And thanks!

....a sad reminder...I've been told by the station heads that podcasts that include the music aren't possible due to copyright issues...I know that some podcasts by others do include music...but WOMR is choosing to not. I'm sorry....I'd much rather have the podcasts include the music....

David & John.........it looks like a rainy summer day here........I'll try and get home early and listen.

So........did "And If You See Him?" make it?

Hey Midnight J. When do I get my turn at bat for a "Listener's Choice" evening?

[sophisticated_soul]

Hey Johnny -
My favorite DJ, my favorite radio program and my favorite artist!! Heaven, sheer heaven! I first heard Diana in 1963, fell in love with the voice and have never looked back! We've been "together" 48 years! Yikes!! [[I was only two when I started! - actually I was 12). It's been an inspirational journey. Looking forward to David's tribute, it's always a winner.

Hey Midnight J. When do I get my turn at bat for a "Listener's Choice" evening?

Ross...I've been doing "Listener's Choice" for quite a number of years. It's open to you and all. We've had wonderful shows put together by dba [[as he did for tonight), sophisticated_soul [[who has done scores of them), lovechild, a few members that have left us, and a few non-SDF members too. All you need to do is come up with a suitable artist/theme [[Motown, girl groups; it doesn't have to be Motown...just music that is in keeping with "Nightflight"...and that includes a lot), 2 cds worth of music about 65 minutes each....and that's it! Ross...email me at jpatpt@yahoo.com and let me know what ideas you have....create the cds....and you and I can come up with an air date. Thanks for your interest!

I think I have two bad dvd's of the Philly show and the Madison Sq. show but there unfortunately are major sound problems with Reach out that no MJ remix could fix because the audio cuts out

[lovechild]

I love Diana's version of Corner of the Sky...
