"Melt Away" from the Brian Wilson catalog is a solid, albeit unexpected, choice. Dr. Eugene Landy would no doubt be pleased that his artistic contributions are being publicly recognized.

I forgot to ask this question.. Other than Wolfman Jack who did you listen or idolize as DJ's growing up??

You are a natural at being a DJ and you bring back the old time feel to it.
Just like the show so it's almost like a step back in time.

Most of your list was not a surprise, but the biggest surprise for me was Albert Hammond. I also enjoy his work and think he is one of the most underrated songwriters in the business (especially for his early songs).

Thanks for sharing.
