Well, I find it incredibly interesting that my 300th podcast is this one- dedicated to someone who meant very much to me.
It could never have been planned that way!
I will open this final chapter (until a sequel somewhere down the road) with some ID’s I owe from the last one.
Engineer Ken was making me laugh and making this one more fun because he kept writing and saying ANGLES instead of Angels, lol!
The beginning set will start with a great duet between two musical legends, then a song that is actually from an album Angel left in my house, (there are always things like albums left behind during a breakup- I got some of her albums, undoubtedly she got some of mine).
The set closes with another terrific duet. Bonnie Raitt calls John Prine onstage to do a classic Prine song.
Those 3 should flow nicely.
I’ll read a lovely poem sent to me by a girl from Illinois, that she found on the wall of a church.
It is simply called “Angels”.
Then one last trip to the movies, and the beginning of the end.
My three favorite Angel movies are The Bishop’s Wife with Cary Grant, of course Wings Of Desire which we already played something from, and this one…with my favorite movie Angel.
Some scenes from it, and fitting music.
As always, I hope you have enjoyed this topic and journey, using music as our means of transportation.
And Ang, I hope I did you proud.
I counted them, and I had brought 111 Angel songs to the program (maybe that means something to a numbers person!).
So there were plenty left over, which would almost guarantee sequels and return visits to the Angels.
In the meantime…Ring Them Bells folks!
Mike

Dear Robert,
Thanks an awful lot for the good words.
Always nice to hear that your efforts are understood and appreciated.
It’s for smart folks like you that I do the show- break the usual radio mold and never talk down to the listener.
They are a lot brighter than the suits think.
Being a huge hockey fan, I have always loved Massachusetts- and many a pro has come from your beautiful state.
I’ll keep rockin’ until they cart me away, lol!
And I hope you continue to join me.
Thanks again for listening and especially for writing,
Mike
