Good wishes for the New Year!

Joe Cocker

He was a tremendously talented singer.  Am very saddened to learn of his death.

(The previous link, above, was taken down since I first posted it.  This is a new link--and not a great one (looks like someone filmed the show off a TV set), but despite the less-than-acceptable video quality, it's still very much worth watching.)

"Stu's Show"

Listening, right now, to "Stu's Show," the Internet radio talk show.  The program's primary focus, each week, is television, and in particular television history.  Its host--who is very knowledgeable about television--is Stu Shostak.

"The Morgan Show," WBZ Radio

My friends Morgan White, Jr. and Mel Simons--both of whom are trivia experts, entertainers, authors, and longtime radio personalities--will be appearing together, again, on Boston's WBZ NewsRadio. 

The broadcast takes place this evening, on Morgan's weekly program, The Morgan Show.  The program airs Saturday nights on WBZ from 10 to midnight (Eastern time).
