Windows Down, Radio Up

Although the weather has turned overcast this afternoon, it was beautiful in Madison this morning. The return of spring reminded me of a feature I used to do on my afternoon radio shows back in the day--at 5:00, as people were getting out of work, I'd throw the format out the window and play a few songs chosen to sound extra-good while driving around with the windows down. I called it "the Drive at Five." A brief homage to the feature--which contains a rather eclectic mix of music not likely to be broadcast in its entirety by any actual radio station--is here. It runs about 16 minutes, so be patient with the download. (Also included: some tips for mastering the art of the DJ talkover.)
