Playlist: Wednesday July 21, 2010 8-10pm

Radio Obsession is back at its new time, Wednesdays from 8 to 10pm!!  Unfortunately, from now through August 18, the shows will be sporadic at best, and if we are not actually there on Wednesdays from 8-10, we are there in spirit – and you will have the opportunity to listen to something cool from the NEIAlive.com All Independent Radio archives.

This week, we are continuing our exploration of our Summer “Desert Island Pick Lp” – Take the Guitar Player for a Ride by Peter Laughner (and Friends), legendary and influential musician from Cleveland, Ohio.  We’ll get to two great cuts from that record during this show.
