Regardless of the holiday, the podcast continues with Episode 18 of Season 2, titled "Eat a Peach and Carry On," echoing the Allman Brothers Band during their last show at NYC's Beacon Theater in 2014. This is a twist on a saying by the band's late founder Duane Allman: "You can't help the revolution, because there's just evolution. Every time I'm in Georgia I eat a peach for peace."

This week, we’ve orchestrated a monumental show titled “Signed, Sealed & Delivered.” As a one-person ensemble, I’ve assumed multiple roles: music director, engineer, announcer, production and program manager, station manager, and on-air talent. Whatever transpires, it's "nobody's fault but mine" (to borrow from Led Zeppelin).

With that, I’ve personally endorsed this week’s show, securely sealed it within electronic files for distribution, and ultimately delivered it to you via podcast platforms and file links. The effort has been exhausting, but the end result makes it all worthwhile.

I sincerely hope you’re savoring the fruits of our labor. Enjoy!

We're also celebrating a milestone: surpassing the 500-track mark on our show, with the unique twist of never featuring the same group / artist twice. That's the epitome of Random, especially considering we're drawing from over seven decades of music.

This Episode is being called "Tiny Bubbles" and is coming to you from the Big Island of Hawaii. Just sneaking this one in before heading home for some well-deserved down time at our SoCal desert compound.

I'm surprised to learn of the number of big-name recording artists that hail from Hawaii, such as Jack Johnson, Bruno Mars, Bette Midler, Yvonne Elliman, James Mercer, and Cecilio & Kapono to name a few. But none bigger than the late great Don Ho known for his classic "Tiny Bubbles". Hence the title of this week's Episode in tribute to Don and his most famous recording.

I'm sure we'll be feeling warm all over, as the Tiny Bubbles lyrics go, once we get back to mainland soil and the comforts of home. But in the meantime, we've got ton of great tunes for you to check out. Mahalo and enjoy!

This week after inhaling margaritas and Mexican food we dredged up a time capsule covering 7 decades of music that begs to be shared with the masses. Fortunately, we failed to unearth the holy grail or any other historic artifact that might well delay this transmission due to governmental red tape.

Enjoy the podcast over the holidays, or whenever the urge strikes to escape from this wild and wacky world.
