I posted this at the end of last weeks thread.

Re ‘My Baby Must Be A Magician’ & ‘The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game’. I have been told by someone who was there back in the day that Laura used to sing these as part of a warm up or encore. A few of her live Motown performances have made it out on to CD like ‘Come & Get These Memories’ & ‘Ain’t Nothing Like The Real Thing’. ‘Ain't No Mountain High Enough’ has still to have that honour but maybe one day, who knows. At least we know that it exists. No doubt there are more that have yet to see the light of day.

Johnny --
I've posted before asking if the shows are available for Podcast. I care for my 90-year-old mother and am unable to listen live. You answered that the music is not available but that the shows [[commentary only) are available. I did happen to catch the last 25 minutes of tonight's Laura Nyro, Part II. What I heard, I loved. I didn't hear where you said the rare version of Luckie came from.
Wish I could hear all six hours. Laura was a treasure. She still is to be treasured.
Also, I do keep looking for the parts of your shows that are available and saw "Jean Terrell" listed. While I would like to hear this, I believe I saw you post that it took a year for this to be put up on the site. Will we have to wait a year to hear the non-music portions of your other programs? Understand, I am speaking as a fan of your work. Does the station ever consider re-broadcasting your shows on another night later in the week? Or are there too many people competing for the airtime available?
Thank you, Johnny.
