This week we switched from the
Record Shelf to our summer replacement series Dr. John's Idiosyncratic History of Rock and Roll. As has
become our tradition, the first episode is the annual Memorial Program wherein
we pay tribute to some of the figures in popular music who have passed away
over the past year. Below is a list of
the songs played, but you'll have to listen to the podcast (click here) to find
