Just a reminder that you can also find the show on Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/TheOrphanageOfRockAndRoll/
The Orphanage of Rock and Roll has been a home for homeless rock and pop records on 91.3 WVKR in Poughkeepsie, NY since 1995. ---- Join rock historian Pete Clark as he uncovers the deep tracks that fell between the cracks in the top-secret back room of the W-V-K-aRchives. ---- Footnotes in the history of rock and roll, along with vaguely familiar tracks you thought you’d never hear on the radio again.

Regular readers and sticklers for detail will note a certain familiarity with this week's show. Last week's storm laughed at my planned playlist and knocked our entire area into darkness and powerlessness (is that a word?) about 40 minutes into the program. This week's show is a new beginning tagged to the un-aired portion of the 4th of July weekend show. If your "day" seems "ja vu," that explains that feeling of having seen some of this before. Hear it live Fridays from 3pm-6pm NY time: http://streema.com/radios/play/10071
