The idea was to produce a show exclusively from old, gnarly-sounding 45 played back on a modest turntable to truly reproduce how "Boomers" heard their music at home. "Cleaned up" and sterilized on CD is just not the same. Then came the grim news that both Leonard Cohen and Leon Russell had passed away.

There wasn't sufficient time to produce an entire Cohen tribute show, so instead it opens with three versions of Cohen's "Hallelujah" and one Leon Russell tune. I chose the obscure "Tryin' To Stay Alive" from Asylum Choir II. Then it's on to the "moldy oldies"! BTW: one mint 45 was played back on the Continuum Caliburn. You'll know which when you hear it.
