This could be so great, but I've developed some low expectations for anything from the 60's.  It has tended towards the touristy tracks.

I heard a lot of great stuff on today's show, but there were no bust-outs, big name or otherwise.
So once again it was both a very pleasant listen and a disappointment as the year's huge potential
for new material was ignored.

Agree completely. Esp if you factor-in the Morey era (where the sixites showed up more often), there were a helluva lot of FFs here.  Good songs individually but I never need to hear "Down on the Corner" again (thanks, Walgreens!) and as always there were some fab suggestions on FB that went unplayed. "Touristy" is a great word, geoff -- I call sets like this "Sixties for Dummies" because they're aimed at a younger crowd who have little knowledge of deep tracks or lost hits. But EVERYBODY knows "Sweet Caroline" and "Everybody's Talking".
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
